Question

(a) An 8-N force pushes a 0.5-kg ball on a horizontal table for 3m starting from rest. If there is no friction, what is the final KE of the ball? (b) The same force is used to raise the ball a height of 3m starting from rest. What is its final KE now? (a) An 8-N force pushes a 0.5-kg ball on a horizontal table for 3m starting from rest.

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

F = 8 N

m = 0.5 Kg

d= 3 m

a)

final KE of the ball = work done by force F

final KE of the ball = 8 * 3

final KE of the ball = 24 J

b) for raising the height

final KE of the ball = work done by force F + work done by weight

final KE of the ball = 24 - 0.50 * 9.8 * 3

final KE of the ball = 9.3 J
