Homework Statement
The same constant force is used to accelerate two carts of the same mass, initially at rest, on horizontal frictionless tracks. The force is applied to cart A for twice as long a time as it is applied to cart B. The work the force does on A is WA; that on B is WB. Which statement is correct?
a.WA = WB.
b.WA = https://www.physicsforums.com/x-apple-ql-id://75E1D3CA-C6B4-441B-A5A4-36B84CE66FF0/x-apple-ql-magic/C3C64FB0-9E65-46A8-9150-27D9512B39A1.pdf WB.
c.WA = 2 WB.
d.WA = 4 WB.
e.WB = 2WA.
Homework Equations
W = F * d * cos(theta)
x= vot + 0.5 *a * t^2
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is D, but I don't know where to start to get the answer d.
I thought since it has same mass and acceleration, twice of time will just make it twice of work.
Can anyone help me explaining this with equation??
