Fair enough ! Where's the figure ?
Answer:
The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The number of cart = 2
The mass of each cart = 0.5kg
The initial length of the spring = 0.50 m
The final length of the spring =T0.3 m
The change in position of the first cart = 0.6 m
The energy given to the first cart = Work done by the force = Force × Displacement
The initial kinetic energy of the two cart moving together = Energy given to the first cart = 6.0 × 0.2 = 1.2J
The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = The applied force × The total displacement of the two cart as they move together
The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × (0.6 - 0.2)
The kinetic energy given to the two cart combined = 6.0 × 0.4 = 2.4 J
The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 1.2 + 2.4 = 3.6 J
The total kinetic energy given to the two cart = 3.6 J
The system's kinetic energy changes by 3.6 J.
We're happy that you're asking for the "displacement", because displacement is simply the straight-line distance between the start-point and end-point, and we don't care about any of the motions or gyrations along the way.
From the graph:
-- The location of the object at time-zero, when time begins, is 10 meters.
-- The location of the object after 6.0 seconds is 4 meters.
-- The distance between the start-point and end-point is
(final location) - (initial location)
-- So Displacement = (4 meters) - (10 meters)
<em>Displacement = -6 meters</em>
How the planets revolve around the earth.. since you can't approach some of them . which are far from the earth.. thus it is quite obvious that they should build a solar system and how planets integrate and move around the dynamic space time
