Question

A dog finds a toy at rest on the floor. The dog pushes the toy horizontally on a frictionless floor with a net force of 2.0 Newtons for 3.0 meters. How much kinetic energy does the toy gain? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.​

Answer 1

the kinetic energy gained by the toy is 6J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

net applied to the toy by dog, F = 2 N

distance moved by the toy, d = 3 m

Apply the principle of work-energy theorem to determine the kinetic energy gained by the toy.

ΔK.E = W

= F x d

= 2 x 3

= 6 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy gained by the toy is 6J.
