Answer:
W = 0.842 J
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy
W = ΔK
In this case the kinetic energy at point A is zero since the system is stopped
W = K_f (1)
now let's use conservation of energy
starting point. Highest point A
Em₀ = U = m g h
Final point. Lowest point B
Em_f = K = ½ m v²
energy is conserved
Em₀ = Em_f
mg h = K
to find the height let's use trigonometry
at point A
cos 35 = x / L
x = L cos 35
so at the height is
h = L - L cos 35
h = L (1-cos 35)
we substitute
K = m g L (1 -cos 35)
we substitute in equation 1
W = m g L (1 -cos 35)
let's calculate
W = 0.500 9.8 0.950 (1 - cos 35)
W = 0.842 J

An object with more mass has more kinetic energy than an object with less mass, if both objects are moving at the same speed. <em>(c)</em>
Answer:
32000 N
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Force (F) =?
Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s
Distance (s) = 10 m
Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) =?
v² = u² + 2as
0² = 40² + (2 × a × 10)
0 = 1600 + 20a
Collect like terms
0 – 1600 = 20a
–1600 = 20a
Divide both side by –1600
a = –1600 / 20
a = –80 m/s²
The negative sign indicate that the car is decelerating i.e coming to rest.
Finally, we shall determine the force needed to stop the car. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) of car = 400 Kg
Acceleration (a) = –80 m/s²
Force (F) =?
F = ma
F = 400 × –80
F = – 32000 N
NOTE: The negative sign indicate that the force is in opposite direction to the motion of the car.
