Work Done = Force x Distance Moved
Work Done = 25 x 15 = 375 Joules
Answer:
0.1 N
Explanation:
Considering the relationship between force,
spring constant and extension as defined by Hook's law
The force F=xk as from Hooke's law where F is the force of the spring, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression. Substituting 2 N/m for k and 5cm which is equivalent to 0.05 m for extention x then the force will be
F=2*0.05=0.1 N
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Force = (18 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 54 newtons
As long as you continue pushing the cart with 54 newtons of force,
it will accelerate at 3 m/s².
At the instant you release it, or keep your hands on it but stop pushing,
it will stop accelerating. It'll continue forward at the speed it had when
the 54 newtons of force stopped.
