A go-cart and rider have a mass of 14 kg. If the cart accelerates at 6m/s^2 during a 40 m sprint in 100 seconds, how much power did the cart do? MUST SHOW ALL WORK

P = 33.6 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 14 [kg]

a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]

In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 84 [N]

d = displaciment = 40 [m]

Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.

where:

P = power [W]

W = work = 3360 [J]

t = time = 100 [s]

Now replacing:

The power is given in watts

e) none of the above answers are correct

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
