To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy. Thus we will have that the kinetic energy is
And the potential energy is
Here,
m = mass
v = Velocity
x = Displacement
k = Spring constant
There is equilibrium, then,
KE = PE
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that
Therefore the speed of the cart is 2.19m/s
Answer:
40 m/s
Explanation:
If you multiply the acceleration with time you get the average speed.
Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
= (0.4 kg) x (45 m/s)
= 18 kg-m/s in the direction from the mound to the plate.
