Monica pulls her daughter Jessie in a bike trailer. The trailer and Jessie together have a mass of 25 kg. Monica starts up a 100-m-long slope that's 4.0 m high. On the slope, Monica's bike pulls on the trailer with a constant force of 9.0 N. They start out at the bottom of the slope with a speed of 5.0 m/s. What is their speed at the top of the slope?

Explanation:

From the given information:

total mass = 25 kg

distance d = 100 m

height = 4.0 m

Force F = 9.0 N

The speed at (bottom) u = 5.0 m/s

Using the concept of energy conservation;

divide both sides by m

multiply both sides by 2

Recall that:

W = Fd

∴

v = 4.30 m/s

what was the acceleration of the 2 kg cart?

⇒ 16.0 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 4 kg cart?

⇒ 8.1 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 6 kg cart?

⇒ 5.3 cm/s2
