A man lets the 300 kg piano A man lets the 300 kg piano pick up speed from 2.0 m/s pick up speed from 2.0 m/s to 4.0 m/s over 3.0 m. What to 4.0 m/s over 3.0 m. What work is done on the piano?work is done on the piano?
• The initial kinetic energy is The initial kinetic energy is KK11 = (0.5)(300 kg)(2.0 m/s) = (0.5)(300 kg)(2.0 m/s)22
= 600 J.= 600 J.
• The final kinetic energy is The final kinetic energy is KK22 = (0.5)(300 kg)(4.0 m/s) = (0.5)(300 kg)(4.0 m/s)22
= 2400 J.= 2400 J.
• The work done on the piano The work done on the piano is 1800 J.is 1800 J.
