An object with a mass of 32 kg has an initial energy of 500). At the end of the experimentthe velocity of the object is recorded as 5.1 m/s . the object travelled 50 m to get to this point, what was the average force of friction on object during the tripAssume no potential energy Show all work

 F = 1.68 N

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in parts.

Let's use the concept of conservation of the mechanical nerve

initial

    Em₀ = 500 J

The energy is totally kinetic

     Em₀ = K = ½ m v₀²

     v₀ =

     v₀ = √ (2 500/32)

     v₀ = 5.59 m / s

now with kinematics we can find a space

      v² = v₀² - 2 a x

the negative sign is because the body is stopping

       a =  

let's calculate

       a = (5.59² - 5.1²) / 2 50  

       a = 0.0524 m / s²

Finally let's use Newton's second law

     F = ma

     F = 32 0.0524

     F = 1.68 N

u=13

v=30

s/t=u+1\2at

=13+431/2

=13+265.5

=278.5

the device is called “ rocket engine”
