Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.
Potential energy is related to the height, since the wagon is going downhill, height decreases and potential energy decreases.
Kinetic energy is related to the speed, since the wagon is speeding up, kinetic energy increases.
Correct question:
Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?
b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?
Answer:
a) 3.33 m/s
b) 0.016 N
Explanation:
a) given:
V = 3.00 m/s
x1 = 1.00 m
x = 5.00

At x = 1.00 m

= 4J
Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= 18J
Total energy will be =
4J + 18J = 22J
At x = 5

= -0.24J
Kinetic energy =

= 2Vf²
Total energy =
2Vf² - 0.024
Using conservation of energy,
Initial total energy = final total energy
22 = 2Vf² - 0.24
Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

= 3.33 m/s
b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m



At x = 5.0 m


= 0.016N
i would say that the child with more linear speed is the cild that is 3 meters away from the center of the merry go round. because the child that is 0.5 meters from the center of the merry go round is less linear because the steering of the merry go round is started from the outer part of the merry go round so it would make more sense that the child that is 3 meters from the center of the merry go round would be more linear in speed.
hope this helps!
