An ice block floating in a river is pushed through a displacement d=20 mi^-16 mj^ along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force F=210 Ni^-150 Nj^ on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during the displacement?

The only force acting on a 2.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 4.0 m s-1 in the positive x direction and some time later has a velocity of 6.0 m s-1 in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time?

A coin slides over a frictionless plane and across an xy coordinate system from the origin to a point with xy coordinates (3.0 m, 4.0 m) while a constant force acts on it. The force has magnitude 2.5 N and is directed at a counterclockwise angle of 100° from the positive direction of the x axis. How, much work is done by the force on the coin during the displacement? (cos47°=0.682)

A particle travels through a three-dimensional displacement given by d=5.00i^-3.00j^+4.00k^ m. If a force of magnitude
22.0 N and with fixed orientation does work on the particle, find the angle between the force and the displacement if the change in the particle's kinetic energy is (a) 45.0 J and (b) -45.0 J

A can of bolts and nuts is pushed 2.00 m along the x-axis by a broom along a greasy (frictionless) floor of a car repair shop in a version of shuffleboard. The figure shown below gives the work W done on the can by the constant horizontal force from the broom versus the can's position x. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by, Ws=6.0 J.

(a) What is the magnitude of that force?
(b) If the can had an initial kinetic energy of 3.00 J moving in the positive direction of the x-axis, what is its kinetic energy at the end of 2.00 m?

A luge and its rider, with a total mass of 85 kg, emerge from a downhill track onto a horizontal straight track with an initial speed of 37 m s-1. If a force slows them to a stop at a constant rate of 2.0 m s-2, (a) what magnitude F is required for the force, (b) what distance d do they travel while slowing, and (c) what work W is done on them by the force?

The figure shown below shows an overhead view of three horizontal forces acting on a cargo canister that was initially stationary but now moves across a frictionless floor. The force magnitudes are F1=3.00 N,F2=4.00 N and F3=9.00 N, and the indicated angles are θ2=50.0°, θ3=35.0°. What is the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first 4.00 m of displacement?

A 7.0 kg object is moving in the positive direction of an x-axis. When it passes through x=0, a constant force directed along the axis begins to act on it. The figure shown below gives its kinetic energy K versus position x, as it moves from x=0 to x=5.0 m, K0=30.0 J. The force continues to act. What is v when the object moves back through x=-3.0 m?
