"A 2-kg object is moving at 3 m/s. A 4-N force is applied in the direction of motion and then removed after the object has traveled an additional 5 m. What is the work done by this force? What is the velocity of the object after the force was applied?"

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m = 2kg

Initial Velocity Vi = 3m/s

Force applied. = 4N

Distance cause by the force applied d = 5m

a. Work done by the force applied?

Work done by force applied can be determined by

W = F×d•Cosx

Where x is direction is the force and displacement

The force and displacement are in the same direction, then, x =0°

W = F×d•Cosx

W = 4×5Cos0

W = 20J.

b. Final velocity

The change in kinetic energy is equal to work done

∆K.E = W

½mVf² - ½mVi² = W

½mVf² = ½mVi² + W

½ × 2 Vf² = ½ × 2 × 3² + 20

Vf² = 9+20

Vf² = 29

Vf = √29

Vf = 5.39m/s

The final velocity is 5.39m/s

Lanuel

The velocity of the object after the force was applied is equal to 5.39 m/s.

Given the following data:

  • Mass = 2 kg
  • Initial velocity = 3 m/s
  • Force = 4 Newton
  • Displacement = 5 meters

a. To find the work done by this force:

Mathematically, the work done by an object is given by the formula;

[tex]Work\;done = force \times displacement[/tex]

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

[tex]Work\;done = 4 \times 4[/tex]

Work done = 20 Joules

b. To determine the velocity of the object after the force was applied, we would apply the law of conservation of energy:

Kinetic energy after - Kinetic energy before = Work done.

[tex]\frac{1}{2} MV_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} MV_i^2 = Work\;done\\\\\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times V_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 3^2 = 20\\\\V_f^2 -9 = 20\\\\V_f^2 = 20 + 9\\\\V_f^2 = 29\\\\V_f = \sqrt{29} \\\\V_f = 5.39 \;m/s[/tex]
