I believe the correct answer is D
A child climbing a ladder is transforming kinetic energy into potential energy.
Friction between the ball and the floor is stealing some of the kinetic energy of the ball, and turning it into heat.
The force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.
<h3>What is force?</h3>
Force can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
To calculate the force acting on the cart, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- F = m(v-u)/t................. Equation 1
Where:
- F = Force acting on the cart
- m = mass of the cart
- v = Final velocity
- u = initial velocity
- t = time
From the question,
Given:
- m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
- v = 30 m/s
- u = 10 m/s
- t = 7 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 1
- F = 0.5(30-10)/7
- F = 10/7
- F = 1.43 N.
Hence, the force acting on the cart is 1.43 N.
