Under the influence of some forces, the speedof a 21.325 kg object changed from 6 m/s to a certain speed.If the net work done on the object is 1450 J.Calculate its final speed.1. 13.115 m/s2. 15.634 m/s19.322 m/s4. 7.263 m/s3.5. 21.714 m/s29. Answer: A

Answer 1

By the work energy theorem we know that the net work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy, that is:

`W=\Delta K`

where

`K=(1)/(2)mv^2`

Then, the work energy theorem can be express as:

`W=(1)/(2)mv_f^2-(1)/(2)mv_0^2`

In this case we know that the work done is 1450 J, that the mass is 21.325 kg and the initial velocity is 6 m/s; plugging these values and solving for the final velocity we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)(21.325)v_f^2-(1)/(2)(21.325)(6)^2=1450 \\ (1)/(2)(21.325)v_f^2=1450+(1)/(2)(21.325)(6)^2 \\ v_f^2=(2)/(21.325)(1450+(1)/(2)(21.325)(6)^2) \\ v_f=\sqrt{(2)/(21.325)(1450+(1)/(2)(21.325)(6)^2)} \\ v_f=13.115 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the final velocity is 13.115 m/s and the correct option is A.
