Two 0.5 kg carts,one red and one green ,sits about half a meter apart on a low friction track. You push on the red with a constant force of 4N for 0.17m and then remove your hand. The cart moves 0.33 m on the track and then strikes the green cart. What is the work done by you on the two cart system?

Answer:

Work done on the two cart system is 2 N-m

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is equal to the product of force and displacement

Work done =4N * (0.17 +0.33)

work done = 4N * 0.5

Work done = 2 N -m

Work done on the two cart system is 2 N-m
