A 15.0 kg cart is moving with a velocity of 7.50 m/s down a level hallway. A constant force of 10.0 N acts on the cart, and its velocity become 3.20 m/s.

AWhat is the change in kinetic energy?
BHow much work was done on the cart?
CHow far did the cart move while the force acted? ...?

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below are the answers:

a. DE=421.875-76.8=-345.075 joules (negitive sign means that the energy is transfering out of your system ie slowing down) 

b. work=DE (work done is change in energy)=-345.075 joules 

c. W=f*d 

d=w/f 

d=345.075/10 

d=34.5075 meters

A. The change in kinetic energy is –345.075 J

B. The amount of work done is –345.075 J

C. The cart travelled a distance of 34.51 m

A. How to determine the change in kinetic energy

  • Mass (m) = 15 Kg
  • Initial velocity (u) = 7.5 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 3.20 m/s
  • Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) =?

ΔKE = ½m(v² – u²)

ΔKE = ½ × 15 × (3.2² – 7.5²)

ΔKE = 7.5 × –46.01

ΔKE = –345.075 J

B. How to determine the workdone

The workdone in this case is equal to the change in energy of the cart.

  • Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = –345.075 J
  • Workdone = Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE)
  • Workdone = –345.075 J

C. How to determine the distance

  • Workdone (Wd) = –345.075 J
  • Force (F) = –10 N
  • Distance (d) =?

Wd = Fd

Divide both side by F

d = Wd / F

d = –345.075 / –10

d = 34.51 m
