A force of 1.50 N acts on a 0.20 kg trolley so as to accelerate it along an air track. The track and force are horizontal and in line. How fast is the trolley going after acceleration from rest through 30 cm, if friction is negligible?

Final velocity, V = 2.1213 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 1.50N

Mass, m = 0.2kg

Displacement, S = 30cm to meters = 30/100 = 0.3m

To find the acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is given by the formula;

.......equation 1

Where;

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

Substituting into the above equation, we have;

Acceleration, a = 7.5m/s²

Now to find the final velocity, we would use the third equation of motion;

.....equation 2

Where;

Note: Since the trolley is starting from rest, we know that it's initial velocity is 0.

Substituting the values into equation 2, we have;

Taking the square root, we have;

V = 2.1213 m/s.

Therefore, the speed of the trolley after accelerating from rest through 0.3 m, if friction is negligible is 2.1213 m/s.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
