I forgot how to do this ;;;

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (10 m/s − 5 m/s) / 4 s

a = 1.25 m/s²

Work = force × distance

First, find the distance traveled.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(10 m/s)² = (5 m/s)² + 2 (1.25 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 30 m

Now find the work:

W = (600 kg × 1.25 m/s²) (30 m)

W = 22,500 J

Alternative, work = change in energy.

W = ΔKE

W = ½ mv² − ½ mv₀²

W = ½ m (v² − v₀²)

W = ½ (600 kg) ((10 m/s)² − (5 m/s)²)

W = 22,500 J
