1. Homework Statement
_>
Suppose the 2.0kg model car is initially at rest at x=0 and F is the net force acting on it. Use the work energy theorem to find the speed of the car at (a) x=3.0m, (b) x=4.0m, and (c) x=7.0m.
2. Homework Equations
Kf-Ki
.5mvf2-.5mvi2
W=DeltaK
W=F*d
3. The Attempt at a Solution
3.0m
W=2N*3m=6J
W=.5(m)(v)2
v2=2W/m
v2=2(6J)/2.0kg
sqrt(6)=2.44m/s
4.0m
W=0N*4m=0J
W=.5(m)(v)2
v2=2W/m
v2=2(0J)/2.0kg
sqrt(0)=0m/s
7.0m
W=0N*4m=0J
W=.5(m)(v)2
v2=2W/m
v2=2(0J)/2.0kg
sqrt(0)=0m/s
Though it seems like the car slowing down there would still be work, so would the speed for both 4m and 7m both be 0m/s?
