A rope is used to pull a 4.0 kg bucket of water upwards out of a deep well with an applied force 45 N. If starting from rest, what speed will the bucket have after experiencing this force for 2 seconds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 22.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the bucket can be found using the following equation:

[tex] V_{f} = V_{0} + at [/tex]

Where:

[tex]V_{f}[/tex]: is the final speed =?

[tex]V_{0}[/tex]: is the initial speed = 0 (starts from rest)

a: is the acceleration

t: is the time = 2 s

We need to find the acceleration, it can be found as follows:

[tex] F = ma [/tex]

Where:

F: is the force = 45 N

m: is the mass = 4.0 kg

[tex] a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{45 N}{4.0 kg} = 11.25 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Now, the speed is:

[tex] V_{f} = V_{0} + at = 11.25 m/s^{2}*2 s = 22.5 m/s [/tex]

Therefore, the speed that the bucket will have is 22.5 m/s.

I hope it helps you!
