C. 3.0 J

D. 6.0 J

E. 0 J

4)

A. 111 J

B. 150 J

C. 39 J

D. 1500 J

E. 2220 J

Explanation / Answer

you commented that the answer for B) 15 N ,but this is wrong the answer is -15 N,you need include a minus sign


C) use work energy theorem


Work done by the net force = change in KE

Fnet *S = Kf-Ki

Ki = 0 J (since started from rest )

m*a*S = Kf

Kf = m*a*s = 1*1*1.7 = 1.7 J


So the answer is B) 1.7 J


--------------------------------------------------
4) use v = u+ (a*t)


initiallyt at rest then u = 0 m/s

a = 1 m/s^2

t = 2.7 s


then final velocity is v = 0+(a*t) = 0+(1*2.7) = 2.7 m/s


net work done = change in KE = Kf-Ki = Kf = 0.5*m*v^2 = 0.5*1*2.7^2 = 3.645 J


i am getting 3.645 J but there is no options so once please check your options and let me know it
