friction is the opposition to the motion of an object. Before a body can be set in motion, part of the energy or work-done must be used to overcome friction.
While kinetic energy is the energy associated with a body due to its motion.
Since friction tends to oppose the motion of a body,when a body start to move, some of the energy applied to the body to cause its motion is converted to heat due to friction.
Hence if a work-done of 100J is applied to a body that requires 40J of the work to overcome friction, the total change in the kinetic energy can be expressed as
If we are assuming the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material, then by Hooke's law the spring constant of the cord is simply the ratio between the force 70N acting on the cord to stretch 20cm or 0.2m
Answer: The acceleration of the object is 0.67m/s^2 west.
Explanation: Here we are given the initial velocity and final velocity as well as the time taken. Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time, thus the equation becomes.
