The only force acting on a 2.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 8.0 m/s in the positive x direction and some time later has a velocity of 10.0 m/s in the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]W_{net}=36J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=2.0 kg

Magnitude of force F=5.0 N

Initial velocity Vo=8.0i m/s

Final velocity Vf=10.0j m/s

The change in the kinetic energy of canister equals to net work done on the canister

So

ΔK=Wnet

Kf-Ki=Wnet

For initial kinetic energy

[tex]K_{i}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2\\K_{i}=\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(8.0m/s)^2\\K_{i}=64J[/tex]

For final Kinetic energy

[tex]K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2\\K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}(2.0kg)(10m/s)^2\\K_{f}=100J[/tex]

Work done on canister by 5.0N force is given as:

[tex]W_{net}=K_{f}-K_{i}\\W_{net}=100J-64J\\W_{net}=36J[/tex]
