-- If the work is done to make the object move faster, then
the work done becomes kinetic energy of the object.
-- If work is done on the object but it doesn't move any faster,
then there must be friction holding it back. In that case, the work
that's done just to keep the object moving becomes heat, in the
places where the friction acts on it.
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03
Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:

where

is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:

since we know that F=300 N and

, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is

due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
Lift force exerted by the air on the rotors=143244 N
Explanation:
we use Newtons second law
F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a
F= lift force
m= mass of helicopter= 13000 Kg
M= mass of car= 2000 lb=907.2 kg
a= acceleration= 0.5 m/s²
g= acceleration due to gravity
F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a
F=(M+m)(a+g)
F=(13000+907.2)(0.5+9.8)
F=143244 N
