12) A horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move a 55-kg cart (initially at rest) across a 10 m level surface. What is the final speed of the cart? [hint: use work – energy principle] [3 marks]

Hi there!

We can use the following:

W = ΔKE = F · d

Find the work done on the cart:

W = 200 · 10 = 2000 J

Now, this is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Its initial kinetic energy is 0 J since it starts from rest, so:

2000J = KEf - KEi

KE is given as:

[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

2000J = 1/2(55)v²

4000 = 55v²

√(4000/55) = 8.53 m/s
