Question

Physics 1 Mechanics (Work-Energy questions) Please help, will rate! Thanks!!!!!'

Work-Energy: The cart is accelerating along the horizontal frictionless track as the hanging weight on the pulley pulls it toward the pulley. You can measure the tension in the string, the velocity of the cart, and the distance the cart moves. How would you determine the net work done? Write the equations and decide what measurements you should make. How would you determine the work done by the tension force? Write the equations and decide what measurements you should make.

Explanation / Answer

net work done = force * distance

force = tension

net work done = tension * distance the cart moves

work done by the tension force = -tension * distance the cart moves
