Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and/or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energy position (for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position). A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion (kineticenergy).

If an automobile's velocity changes from 25 m/s to 15m/s in 2s, then what is its acceleration?
tekilochka [14]
Hey!

u=25m/s
v=15m/s
t=2s
a=?

v-u=at
15-25=a×2
-10=2a
-10/2=a
a=-5m/s^2

Hope it helps...!!!

A 50-kg cart is on an incline of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The cart is at rest. The static coefficient of the slope is 0.
sesenic [268]

The cart is at rest, so it is in equilibrium and there is no net force acting on it. The only forces acting on the cart are its weight (magnitude <em>w</em>), the normal force (mag. <em>n</em>), and the friction force (maximum mag. <em>f</em> ).

In the horizontal direction, we have

<em>n</em> cos(120º) + <em>f</em> cos(30º) = 0

-1/2 <em>n</em> + √3/2 <em>f</em> = 0

<em>n</em> = √3 <em>f</em>

and in the vertical,

<em>n</em> sin(120º) + <em>f</em> sin(30º) + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>n</em> sin(120º) + <em>f</em> sin(30º) = (50 kg) (9.80 m/s²)

√3/2 <em>n</em> + 1/2 <em>f</em> = 490 N

Substitute <em>n</em> = √3 <em>f</em> and solve for <em>f</em> :

√3/2 (√3 <em>f </em>) + 1/2 <em>f</em> = 490 N

2 <em>f</em> = 490 N

<em>f</em> = 245 N

(pointed up the incline)
