Let the first car's average speed be x
The second car's speed would be x+5
So the speed of the slower car is 50mph, and the speed of the faster car is 55mph
The second car's speed would be x+5
So the speed of the slower car is 50mph, and the speed of the faster car is 55mph
(a) For the work-energy theorem, the work done to lift the can of paint is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by it, therefore it is equal to
where m=3.4 kg is the mass of the can, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and is the variation of height. Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find
(b) In this case, the work done is zero. In fact, we know from its definition that the work done on an object is equal to the product between the force applied F and the displacement:
However, in this case there is no displacement, so d=0 and W=0, therefore the work done to hold the can stationary is zero.
(c) In this case, the work done is negative, because the work to lower the can back to the ground is done by the force of gravity, which pushes downward. Its value is given by the same formula used in part (a):
