A box of mass 26 kg is initially at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\Delta K = 52J$

Explanation:

The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies: $\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.

For our case then we have:

$\Delta K = K_f-K_i=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}=\frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2}$

Which for our values is:

$\Delta K = \frac{m(v_f^2-v_i^2)}{2} = \frac{(26Kg)((2m/s)^2-(0m/s)^2)}{2} = 52J$
