: A fan is placed on a horizontal track and given a slight push toward an end stop 1.80 meters away. Immediately after the push, the fan of the cart engages and slows the cart with an acceleration of -0.45 m/s2. What is the maximum possible velocity (magnitude) the cart can have after the push so that the cart turns around just before it hits the end-stop

The initial velocity is 1.27 m/s.

Explanation:

distance, s = 1.8 m

acceleration, a = - 0.45 m/s^2

final velocity, v = 0

let the initial velocity is u.

Use third equation of motion

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j
