Question
“A 2-kg object is moving at 3 m/s. A 4-N force is applied in the direction of motion and then removed after the object has traveled an additional 5 m. What is the work done by this force? What is the velocity of the object after the force was applied?”

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass m = 2kg
Initial Velocity Vi = 3m/s
Force applied. = 4N
Distance cause by the force applied d = 5m
a. Work done by the force applied?
Work done by force applied can be determined by
W = F×d•Cosx
Where x is direction is the force and displacement
The force and displacement are in the same direction, then, x =0°
W = F×d•Cosx
W = 4×5Cos0
W = 20J.
b. Final velocity
The change in kinetic energy is equal to work done
∆K.E = W
½mVf² – ½mVi² = W
½mVf² = ½mVi² + W
½ × 2 Vf² = ½ × 2 × 3² + 20
Vf² = 9+20
Vf² = 29
Vf = √29
Vf = 5.39m/s
The final velocity is 5.39m/s
