IV. Applying Wnet ext = AK %3D Two carts, C and D, are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the top-view diagram below. A constant force of magnitude F, is exerted on each cart as it travels between two marks on the table. Cart D has a greater mass than cart C. Top view F, Frictionless table < mp mc F D Second mark First mark A. Do you agree or disagree with the statement below regarding the final kinetic energy of each cart? Explain. "Since the same force is exerted on both carts, the cart with the smaller mass will move quickly, while the cart with the larger mass will move slowly. Since the velocity is squared to get the kinetic energy but mass isn't, the cart with the bigger speed must have more kinetic energy." dig ow or

As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmons acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.

What does the scale read then? (c) The elevator then moves with a steady speed of 5 m/s. What does the scale read now?
A young woman buys an inexpensive used car for stock car racing. It can attain highway speed with an acceleration of 8.40 mi/h s. By making changes to its engine, she can increase the net horizontal force on the car by 24.0%. With much less expense, she can remove material from the body of the car to decrease its mass by 24.0%. (a) Which of these two changes, if either, will result in the greater increase in the cars acceleration? (b) If she makes both changes, what acceleration can she attain?
