Answer:
Force applied
Explanation:
An object will remain at its state of rest unless a non zero for act on it
The answer is A. Since the car is moving at a constant velocity, the car not accelerate no matter how far it travels.
The work that Sam should do in order to stop is the boat is the same as that of the kinetic energy of the object in order to counter its motion. Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,
KE = 0.5mv²
where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is the velocity.
Substituting,
KE = 0.5(1200kg)(1.2 m/s)²
<em>KE = 864 J</em>
The work performed on an object is the force multiplied by the distance it is moved, provided the movement is parallel to the force. Since that is the case here, we can get the work by W=Fd=1900N x 0.23m = 437J. This energy is used to split the wood.
