A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.

Neglecting friction between truck and road, determine the following:
a. The speed v.
b. The horizontal force exerted on the truck.

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s  b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

a)

  • Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
  • This work, is just 4,475 J.
  • So we can write the following equation:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J

  • where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
  • So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

        v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} }  = 1.89 m/s

b)

  • The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

        W = F*d

  • We can solve for F, as follows:

        F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} =  172.1 N

The electric field strength E is measured as:
soldi70 [24.7K]
The correct answer is
<span>force per unit charge.

In fact, the electric field strength is defined as the electric force per unit charge experienced by a positive test charge located in the electric field. In formula:
</span>E= \frac{F}{q}
where
E is the electric field strength
F is the electric force experienced by the charge
q is the positive test charge.

Nady [450]

If you measured all the energy related to motion and all the stored energy in the particles of a substance, you would be measuring the thermal energy of the particles. If there is movement of the particles, they are also releasing energy in the form of heat.
