Answer:B
Explanation:
Given
mass of Sled is m
another package of mass m is thrown on it
Suppose u be the initial velocity of sled
conserving momentum
where v is the final velocity
Initial kinetic energy
Final Kinetic Energy
Final Kinetic Energy
Final kinetic Energy is half of initial
Should be 1.4, I hope this helps you out
Newwton's law of inertia states that an object will not be able to move unless force is applied to it
Inertia is the correct answer!
Remember the definition of work done.
Work done is force(F) times displacement(x)
∴ W = F.Δx
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion,
F = ma
∴ W = ma.Δx ---- (i)
Using the kinematical equation v²-u² = 2ax,
aΔx = (v²-u²)/2
Plug this value in (i),
∴W = m[
]
∴W =
Which is nothing but change in kinetic energy.
That is how kinetic energy is derived
