A 40 kg girl is pushing a 40 kg boy in a 20 kg toy wagon. The wagon is moving at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. Calculate the combined kinetic energy of the boyWhat is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons?

Combined kinetic energy =120 joules

Acceleration=

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the girl= 40 kg.

The mass of the boy= 40 kg.

The mass of the wagon = 20 kg.

The combined velocity of the boy and the wagon, v= 2.0 m/s.

The kinetic energy of any object having mass m and moving with the speed of v m/s, is

K.E.= .

Here, the combined mass of the boy and the wagon = 40 + 20 = 60 kg.

So, the combined kinetic energy of the boy and the wagon

J

When a force is applied on the object having the mass m, then

F=ma,

where a is the acceleration produced in the object.

Here, F=500 newtons and m= 50 kg.

so,

.

Hence, the combined energy is 120 joules and the acceleration is 10 .

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
