<span>First we can find the swimmer's velocity when the feet enter the water. v^2 = (v0)^2 + 2gy v = sqrt{ (v0)^2 + 2gy } v = sqrt{ (4.00 m/s)^2 + (2)(-9.80 ~m/s^2)(-8 m) } v = sqrt{ 172.8 } v = -13.145 m/s Note that the negative sign means the swimmer is moving downward. We can find the time to reach this velocity. t = (v - v0) / g t = (-13.145 m/s - 4.00 m/s)) / -9.80 m/s^2 t = - 17.145 m/s / -9.80 m/s^2 t = 1.75 seconds Her feet are in the air for 1.75 seconds.</span>

A secret agent is locked in a room. He pushes against the door but cannot open it. Finally, he falls to the floor exhausted. Has
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation:  Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is  

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.

Using an inclined plane, what happens to the amount of work that has to be done?
weeeeeb [17]
A. The amount of work increases.
Imagine you are pushing a box on a flat surface. Now imagine pushing it up a steep hill. It gets harder and that's how I remember this.
Hope this helps.
