A proton (mass m = 1.67 X 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 3.6 X 1015 rnIs in a machine. If the proton has an initial speed of 2.4 X 107 mls and travels 3.5 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?

Question
(a) In 1975 the roof of Montreal's Velodrome, with a weight of 360 kN, was lifted by lD cm so that it could be centered. How much work was done on the roof by the forces making the lift? (b) In 1960 a Tampa, Florida, mother reportedly raised one end of a car that had fallen onto her son when a jack failed. If her panic lift effectively raised 4000 N (about ~ of the car's weight) by 5.0 cm, how much work did her force do on the car?
Solution
The first step in solving 7 problem number 18 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) In 1975 the roof of Montreal's Velodrome, with a weight of 360 kN, was lifted by lD cm so that it could be centered. How much work was done on the roof by the forces making the lift? (b) In 1960 a Tampa, Florida, mother reportedly raised one end of a car that had fallen onto her son when a jack failed. If her panic lift effectively raised 4000 N (about ~ of the car's weight) by 5.0 cm, how much work did her force do on the car?
From the textbook chapter Kinetic Energy and Work you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
