A force in the + x-direction with magnitude F(x) = 18.0N -(0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00-kg box that is sitting on the horizontal, frictionless surface of a frozen lake. F(x) is the only horizontal force on the box. If the box is initially at rest at x=0, use the work-energy theorem to determine its speed after it has travelled 14.0 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:v=8.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

F(x)=18-0.530 x

mass of box=6 kg

distance traveled is 14 m

Work done by force

[tex]W=\int_{0}^{14}Fdx[/tex]

[tex]W=\int_{0}^{14}(18-0.53x)dx[/tex]

[tex]W=\left ( 18x-\frac{0.530}{2}x^2\right )_0^{14}[/tex]

[tex]W=252-51.94=200.06 J[/tex]

Work done by the force is equal to change in kinetic energy

[tex]W=\frac{mv^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]200.06\frac{6\times v^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]v=8.17 m/s[/tex]
