Question

4.c.) What would the final kinetic energy and final speed be if the wind was blowing at a downward angle of 60° (relative to the horizontal surface)?

4.a) A constant force, F = 20 N, acts in the +x-direction and pushes an iceboat with mass m= 50 kg for a
distance 4x = 40 m across a frictionless frozen lake. How much work was done by the force?
An
force applied f= 20N
displacement An = 40 m
boat mass m = 50 kq
Work done by force W= ?
Work done is product of force and displacemen
in direction of force;
W=f*An = 20N x 40m
W= 800J

4.b.) If the iceboat started at rest, how much kinetic energy does the iceboat have at the end of the 40m
what is its final speed?
Force applied (F) - zON
displace ment (A) = 4O m
Work done by Fhe force = kinetie emray of the boat
Ex = F•X
Ex = 20N •40m
Ek = 800 J
So, kinetic energy of the icebont = 800 J
Now,
* m(ve-v) = 800J Evi a in hial speed

VE = 4ĩ
VE = 4 x1,414
%3D
VE = 5. 656m/s
So, final Speed of the boat = 5.656 m/s.
