Answer:
d) is the same as when it started from rest
Explanation:
using equation of motion
v = u + at
second law of momentum defines
F = ma
a = F /m
the equation becomes
v = u + (F/m)t
from hear
since v is directly proportional to the force and the force remain the same, the increase in the cart speed will also remain the same.
Answer:
It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.
Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.
Therefore:
- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J
- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.
In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It's kinetic energy would change to four times the amount.
