17. If a ball has a mass of 0.7 kg and changes its velocity from 2 m/s to 10 m/s, how much work was done on it?
a. 36.43
b. 33.6J
C. 8]
d. cannot be determined

Answer:

33.6 J is the work done on the ball.

Option: b

Explanation:

given that,

Mass of the ball (m) is 0.7 kg.

"Initial velocity" of the ball [tex]({V_i}^2)[/tex] is 2 m/s.

"Final velocity" of the ball [tex]({V_f}^2)[/tex] is 10 m/s.

We need to find how much work is done on the ball.

We know that the "work done" on the ball which is moving with a velocity is equal to the change in "kinetic energy" of the object therefore,

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}m\times{V_f}^2-\frac{1}{2}m\times{V_i}^2[/tex]

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}m({V_f}^2-{V_i}^2)[/tex]

Substitute the given values in the the above formula,

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}0.7({10}^2-{2}^2)[/tex]

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}0.7(100-4)[/tex]

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}0.7(96)[/tex]

[tex]Work done =\frac{1}{2}(67.2)[/tex]

Work done = 33.6 J
