Electrostatic forces are non-contact forces; they pull or push on objects without touching them
Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J. {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.
Part A:
For this part we’re assuming all the kinetic energy of the moving bumper car is converted into elastic potential energy in the spring since the car is brought to rest. Therefore you can find the total kinetic energy to get your answer:
KE = ½ mv^2
KE = ½ (200)(8)^2
KE = 6400 J
Part B:
Now you can use Hooke’s law to find the force:
F = kx
F = (5000)(0.2)
F = 1000 N
