Answer:
Kf = 470 mJ
Explanation:
- According the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of one object, is equal to the net work done on it.
- Since the puck is initially at rest, the change is kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy of the puck.
- Assuming that the net force is horizontal, and causes a horizontal displacement also, we can find the net work on the puck as follows:
- As we have already said, (1) is equal to the final kinetic energy of the puck:
- ⇒ Kf = 470 mJ (2)
