The answer should be B. According to the conservation of energy, the energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transformed. Since the object is moving down, that means its height is decreasing, causing the potential energy decreasing and the kinetic energy  increasing to fulfill the conservation law.

"v0" means that there are no friction forces at that speed

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav
uysha [10]
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.
