A 2 kg toy car moves at a speed of 5 m/s.
a. What is the kinetic energy of the car?
b. If a child applies a 3 N force for 2 m in the same direction the car is already moving, how much work is
done on the car?
c. What is the change in the car’s kinetic energy from the applied force?
d. What is the final kinetic energy of the car?
e. What is the velocity of the car after the child applies the 3 N force?

Answer:

a.25J b.6J c.6J d.31J e.[tex]\sqrt{31}[/tex] m/s

Explanation:

a. using the formula Ek=1/2mv^2, the kinetic energy would be 1/2*2*5^2=25J

b. we can separate the work the child applied. So the work he/she applied would be 2*3=6J (W=FS)

c. by the "Energy conservation law", we knew the energy can be "add up" since they wouldn't "disappear". Thus, the change in the car’s kinetic energy is 6J.

d.25+6=31J

e.now you know the new Ek, and the m, just use the formula again! 31=1/2*2*v^2. So the velocity after the child push it would be [tex]\sqrt{31}[/tex] m/s

The kinetic energy and the work done by the car is:

(a) 25 J

(b) 6 J

(c) 6 J

(d) 31 J

(e) 5.57 m/s

According to the question,

Force,

  • F = 3 N

Distance,

  • d = 2 m

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the car will be:

→ [tex]K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_0^2[/tex]

       [tex]= \frac{1}{2}\times (2)\times (5)^2[/tex]

       [tex]= 25 \ J[/tex]

(b)

The work done by the car will be:

→ [tex]W = fd[/tex]  

       [tex]= 3\times 2[/tex]

       [tex]= 6 \ J[/tex]

(c)

The change in the car's K.E will be:

→ [tex]\Delta K = W[/tex]

          [tex]= 6 \ J[/tex]

(d)

The car's final K.E will be:

→ [tex]K_f = W+K_i[/tex]

        [tex]= 6+25[/tex]

        [tex]= 31 \ J[/tex]

(e)

The final velocity of the car will be:

→ [tex]v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2 K_f}{m}}[/tex]

       [tex]= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 31}{2} }[/tex]

       [tex]= 5.57 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus the above solution is correct.
