13a) 9 J

The work done is equal to the area under the curve between x=0 cm and x=30 cm. However, first we should find the magnitude of the force for x=30 cm. If we notice that the force is proportional to the stretching x, we can set the following proportion to find the value of F for x=30 cm:

And so, the work done is

13b) 24.5 m/s

The kinetic energy gained by the arrow is equal to the work done in stretching the bow:

Given the formula for the kinetic energy:

we can find the speed v of the arrow:

13c) 30.6 m

If shot vertically upward, at the point of maximum height all the initial kinetic energy of the arrow is converted into gravitational potential energy:

Re-arranging the formula and using the initial speed of the arrow, we can find its maximum height h:

14) 20 m/s

We can solve the problem by using the work-energy theorem. In fact, the work done by the frictional force of the brake is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the car:

where

is the force applied by the brakes (with a negative sign, since it is opposite to the displacement of the car)

is the displacement of the car

is the car's mass

is the final speed of the car

is the initial speed of the car

By re-arranging the equation, we can find v:

15) 5.0 m/s

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy:

where

m is the mass of the pendulum

is the initial height of the pendulum

is the initial speed of the pendulum

is the final height of the pendulum

is the final speed of the pendulum

Re-arranging the equation, we can find v:

16) Point B (at the top of the loop)

Gravitational potential energy is defined as:

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. Therefore, we see that the potential energy is proportional to h: the higher the ball above the ground, the greater its potential energy. In this example, the point of maximum height is point B, therefore it is the point where the ball has the largest potential energy.

17) Law of conservation of energy: the total mechanical energy of an isolated object is conserved (if no frictional force act on it)

Example: A stone left falling from rest from a cliff. Let's call h the height of the cliff, m the mass of the stone. The mechanical energy of the stone is constant, and it is sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy:

At the top of the cliff, the kinetic energy is zero (the stone is at rest), so all its energy is potential energy:

When the stone falls, its energy is converted into kinetic energy. Just before hitting the ground, the height has become zero, h=0, so the potential energy is zero and all the mechanical energy is now kinetic energy:

since the mechanical energy must be conserved, we can write
