Answer 1

for 21 and 22 figure is required.

23)

kinetic energy = 1/2 mv^2

thus the ratio would be

(0.5)(m)(0.5v)^2/ ( 0.5)(m)(v)^2

0.5 for one half the origional velocity, the direction doesn'tmatter since the v is squared.

the mass and one half of the equation cancels, as well as thearbitrary value of v,

thus we have

0.5^2/1^2 = 1/4

thus it has 1/4 as much kinetic energy

24)

change in kinetic energy = work done

In this problem mass is required

25)

ΔK = W = F_xx = 80(2) = 160 Joules

26)

acceleration of the sled, a = -g*mue_k

= -9.8*0.2

= -1.96 m/s^2

let u is the initial speed and v is the final speed.

Apply, v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*d

0^2 - u^2 = 2*(-1.96)*10

u = sqrt(2*1.96*10)

u = 6.26 m/s
