A box of mass 8.0 kg is accelerated from rest across a floor at a rate of 6.0 m/s2 for 7.0 s . Find the net work done on the box. |
Solution :-
mass m = 8 kg
initial velocity u = 0
time t = 7 s
Acceration a = 6 m/s 2
From the relation v = u + at
= 0 +(7×6)
= 42 m/s
the net work done on the box W = Change in kinetic energy Since from work energy theorem
= (1/2)m[v 2 - u 2]
= (1/2)(8)(422)
= 7056 J
