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.

What is the mechanical advantage of a 8 m ramp that rises 2 m to a stage?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 4

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance of effort, de = 8m

Distance of ramp, dr = 2m

To find the mechanical advantage;

Mechanical advantage = de/dr

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Mechanical advantage = 8/2

Mechanical advantage = 4

why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions?
Anna35 [415]
<span>The particles in a gas are apart and moving fast, so the forces of attraction are too weak to have a noticeable effect.</span>
