已知：V0=0,m=12320kg,a=0.57m/s²,Vt=22.8m/s.
求：s=?
由Vt²-V0²=2as有,s=(Vt²-V0²)/2a=(22.8²-0)/(2×0.57)=456m.
答：略.
2.The builders of the pyramids used a long ramp to lift 22000-kg (22-ton) blocks.How much work was done in raising one of the blocks to a height of 53
已知：m=22000kg,h=53m,g=9.8m/s²
求W=?
由公式W=mgh有,W=22000 × 0.8 × 53=11426800J
答：略.
3.If your car accelerates from rest at a steady rate of 4 m/s2,how soon will it reach 88 km/h (54.7 mph or 24.4 m/s)?
已知V0=0,a=4m/s²,Vt=22.4m/s
求：t=?
由公式Vt=V0+at有,t=(Vt-V0)/a=(22.4-0)/4=5.6s.
答：略.
4.On Mars,the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s2.How far would a rock fall in 5 s if you dropped it on Mars?
已知g'=3.71m/s²,t=5s
求：h=?
由公式h=gt²/2有,h=3.71 × 5²/2=46.25m.
答：略.
5.A basketball player can leap upward 0.44 m.What is his initial velocity at the start of the leap?
已知：h=0.44m,g=9.8m/s²
求：V0=?
由公式h=V0²/2g有,V0=√(2gh)==√(2×9.8×0.44) ≈2.94m/s
答：略.
6.A sprinter can reach a speed of 9.4 m/s in 0.95 s.If the sprinter’s acceleration is constant during that time,what is the sprinter’s acceleration?
已知：V0=0,Vt=9.4m/s,t=0.95s
求：a=?
由公式Vt=V0+at有,a=(Vt-V0)/t=(9.4-0)/0.95≈9.89m/s²
答:略.
7.How much does a 84-kg person weigh on earth?
已知：m=84kg,g=9.8m/s²
求：G=?
由公式G=mg有,G=mg=84×9.8=823.2N
答：略.
8.As water descends from the top of a tall hydroelectric dam,its gravitational potential energy is converted to electric energy.How much gravitational potential energy is released when 900 kg of water descends 230 m to the generators?
已知：m=900kg,Δh=230m,g=9.8m/s²
求E=?
由公式ΔEp=mgΔh有,ΔEp=mgΔh=900 × 9.8 × 230=2028600J
根据能量守恒定律：E= ΔEp=2028600J
答：略.
9.You’re using a wedge to split a log.You are hitting the wedge with a large hammer to drive it into the log.It takes a force of 3100 N to push the wedge into the wood.If the wedge moves 0.2 m into the log,how much work have you done on the wedge?
