A go-cart and rider have a mass of 100 kg. If the cart accelerates at 5 m/s2 during a 25 m sprint, how much work did the cart do

Sagot :

Answer:20watts

Explanation:

Answer:

The solution is given below

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

We know that

Work done = Fs cosθ

But before that we need to determine the force i.e.  

We know that

Force (F) = mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

= 100 × 5

= 500 N

Now,  work done by the go-cart is  

Work done (W) = Fs cosθ

= 500 × 25 × cos(0°)

=  500 × 25 × 1

= 12,500 J
