Answer:
change in kinetic energy of the trolley is 53.91 J.
Explanation:
mass of the trolley, m = 5.0 kg
initial velocity of the trolley, u = 1.0 m/s
external force on the trolley, F = 25 N
time of force action, t = 0.75 s
The final velocity of the trolley at the end of 0.75 s is calculated as follows;
[tex]F = \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\25 = \frac{5(v-1)}{0.75}\\\\5(v-1) = 18.75\\\\v-1 = \frac{18.75}{5} \\\\v-1 = 3.75\\\\v = 4.75 \ m/s \ in \ the \ direction \ of \ the \ applied \ force[/tex]
The change in kinetic energy of the trolley is calculated as;
Δ K.E = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)
Δ K.E = ¹/₂ x 5(4.75² - 1²)
Δ K.E = 53.91 J.
Therefore, change in kinetic energy of the trolley is 53.91 J.
