a cart's initial velocity is +3.0 meters per second. What is its final velocity after accelerating at a rate of 1.5m/s2 for 8.0
1 answer:
The final velocity is +15.0 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the cart is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the velocity at time t
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the cart in this problem, we have:
u = +3.0 m/s (initial velocity)
(acceleration)
t = 8.0 s (time)
Substituting, we find the final velocity:

Hi there!
(a)
Recall that:
W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)
Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.
To the nearest multiple of ten:
(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.
Thus:
(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
(d)
Recall that the force of kinetic friction is given by:
Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
In multiples of ten:
(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.
Nearest multiple of ten:
(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
