Answer:
(a) W = 8.66 J
(b) Velocity = 2.40 m/s
Explanation:
(a) Work done is given as the product of force and displacement. That is:
W = F * d * cos(A)
Where F = force applied
d = distance moved
A = angle of ramp
Therefore, work done is:
W = 20 * 0.5 * cos30
W = 8.66 J
(b) Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy. Since the initial kinetic energy is zero:
W = KE(final)
W = ½ * m * v²
Where v = final velocity
=> 8.66 = ½ * 3 * v²
v² = 5.773
v² = 2.40 m/s
The cart that has the smallest mass of sports equipment in it
has the greatest change in speed. We know this from Newton's
second law of motion ...
Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
If several objects have the same force acting on them, then the one
with the smallest mass has the greatest acceleration.
