A 67.6-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.56 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.65 m, and ends with a speed of 8.30 m/s. How much nonconservative work was done on the boy?

The nonconservative work was done on the boy is 1154.87 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the boy, m = 67.6 kg

initial speed of the boy, u = 1.56 m/s

height of fall, h = 1.65 m

final speed of the boy, v = 8.30 m/s

The initial energy of the boy is given by;

E₁ = K.E₁ + P.E₁

E₁ = ¹/₂mu² + mgh

E₁ = ¹/₂(67.6)(1.56)² + (67.6 x 9.8 x 1.65)

E₁ = 82.134 + 1091.475

E₁ = 1,173.61 J

The final energy of the boy is given by;

E₂ = K.E₂

E₂ = ¹/₂mv²

E₂ = ¹/₂(67.6)(8.3)²

E₂ = 2,328.482 J

The nonconservative work was done on the boy is given by;

W = E₂- E₁

W = 2,328.482 J - 1,173.61 J

W = 1154.87 J

Therefore, the nonconservative work was done on the boy is 1154.87 J.

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
