22 A cave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. The lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 12.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 5.00 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 5.00 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. How much work is done on the 85.0 kg rescuee by the force lifting him during each stage?
π Solution Approach
Given: 22 A, 12.0 m, 5.00 m, 85.0 kg
Find: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 5; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed
