A wagon with an initial velocity of 2 m/s and a mass of 60 kg, gets a push with 150 joules of force. Apply your scientific knowledge and understanding of work-energy theorem to calculate
the wagon's final velocity.

v_f = 3 m/s

Explanation:

From work energy theorem;

W = K_f - K_i

Where;

K_f is final kinetic energy

K_i is initial kinetic energy

W is work done

K_f = ½mv_f²

K_i = ½mv_i²

Where v_f and v_i are final and initial velocities respectively

Thus;

W = ½mv_f² - ½mv_i²

We are given;

W = 150 J

m = 60 kg

v_i = 2 m/s

Thus;

150 = ½×60(v_f² - 2²)

150 = 30(v_f² - 4)

(v_f² - 4) = 150/30

(v_f² - 4) = 5

v_f² = 5 + 4

v_f² = 9

v_f = √9

v_f = 3 m/s

energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical or physical means. do not understand what you are asking but hope this
