A cart that weighs 15 kg is rolling down a hill with a velocity of 4.2 m/s2.  What is the kinetic energy of the cart?   

Expert Solution
Step 1

solution : A cart that weighs 15 kg, it means Mass= 15 kg

                 velocity= 4.2 m/s2

                 Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv2  

                                          = 1/2  * 15 * (4.2)2

                                              = 132.3 joules
