Answer:

2.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the cart (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial velocity of the cart (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = ? m/s

Displacement of the cart (S) = 8.0 m

Horizontal force acting on the cart (F) = 10.0 N

Surface is frictionless. So, only horizontal force is the force acting on the cart.

Now, as per work-energy theorem, the work done by the net force acting on a body is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the body.

Here, the work done by the horizontal force is given as:

W_{net}=FS=(10\ N)(8.0\ m)=80\ Nm

The change in kinetic energy is given as:

\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\\\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}(20.0\ kg)(v^2-0)\\\\\Delta K=10v^2

Now, from work-energy theorem:

\Delta K=W_{net}\\\\10v^2=80\\\\v^2=\frac{80}{10}\\\\v=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the cart when it has been pushed 8.0 m is 2.83 m/s.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explanation:

Given that:

\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3

R = (0.1) m

To find  the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

{\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)

For r < R

Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l

E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}

E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}

where;

\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c
