A shopper does 157 J of work pushing a cart with 10.9 N force
1 answer:
The cart travelled a distance of 14.4 m
Explanation:
The work done by a force when pushing an object is given by:
where:
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement
In this problem we have:
W = 157 J is the work done on the cart
F = 10.9 N is the magnitude of the force
, assuming the force is applied parallel to the motion of the cart
Therefore we can solve for d to find the distance travelled by the cart:

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m
Explanation:
The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity
- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, )
From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:
where
u is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
g is the acceleration of gravity
For the piece of paper in this problem,
u = 4.3 m/s
Substituting,
