Answer:
The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.
Explanation:
Given that,
The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N
The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N
We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :
Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :
W = 37 Joules
So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
vB = 15.4 m/s
Explanation:
Principle of conservation of energy:
Because there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserve
ΔE = 0
ΔE : mechanical energy change (J)
K : Kinetic energy (J)
U: Potential energy (J)
K = (1/2)mv²
U = m*g*h
Where :
m: mass (kg)
v : speed (m/s)
h : hight (m)
Ef - Ei = 0
(K+U)final - (K+U)initial =0
(K+U)final = (K+U)initial
((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)final = ((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)initial , We divided by m both sides of the equation:
((1/2)vB² + g*hB = (1/2 )vA²+ g*hA
(1/2) (vB)² + (9.8)*(14.7) = 0 + (9.8)(26.8 )
(1/2) (vB)² = (9.8)(26.8 ) - (9.8)*(14.7)
(vB)² = (2)(9.8)(26.8 - 14.7)
(vB)² = 237.16
vB = 15.4 m/s : speed of the cart at B
