Answer:
v_f = 3 m/s
Explanation:
From work energy theorem;
W = K_f - K_i
Where;
K_f is final kinetic energy
K_i is initial kinetic energy
W is work done
K_f = ½mv_f²
K_i = ½mv_i²
Where v_f and v_i are final and initial velocities respectively
Thus;
W = ½mv_f² - ½mv_i²
We are given;
W = 150 J
m = 60 kg
v_i = 2 m/s
Thus;
150 = ½×60(v_f² - 2²)
150 = 30(v_f² - 4)
(v_f² - 4) = 150/30
(v_f² - 4) = 5
v_f² = 5 + 4
v_f² = 9
v_f = √9
v_f = 3 m/s
If you do this on Earth, then the acceleration of the falling object is 9.8 m/s^2 ... NO MATTER what it's mass is.
If its mass is 10 kg, then the force pulling it down is 98.1 Newtons. Most people call that the object's "weight".
