stops? How much work must she do to speed up to 2.5 m/s again?
12. An 875.0-kg car speeds up from 22.0 m/s to 44.0 m/s. What are the initial and final kinetic
energies of the car? How much work is done on the car to increase its speed?
13. CHALLENGE A comet with a mass of 7.851011 kg strikes Earth at a speed of 25.0 km/s. Find
the kinetic energy of the comet in joules and compare the work that is done by Earth in stopping
the comet to the 4.21015 J of energy that was released by the largest nuclear weapon ever
exploded.

constant velocity and the job is done in 10.0 s. What power is developed by the motor in W and
kW?

18. Challenge A winch designed to be mounted on a truck, as shown in Figure 10, is advertised as
being able to exert a 6.8×103-N force and to develop a power of 0.30 kW. How long would it take
the truck and the winch to pull an object 15 m?

20. Work and Energy If the work done on an object doubles its kinetic energy, does it double its
speed? If not, by what ratio does it change the speed?
_________________________________________________________________________________
22. Suppose you are pushing a stalled car. As the car gets going, you need less and less force to
keep it going. For the first 15 m, your force decreases at a constant rate from 210.0 N to 40.0 N.
How much work did you do on the car? Draw a force-displacement graph to represent the work
done during this period.

second floor, farther down the hall. You carry the box first up the stairs, and then down the hall
to the room. Your friend carries it down the hall on the first floor, then up a different stairwell to
the second floor. How do the amounts of work done by the two of you on your boxes compare?
