Jack is pushing a 30.0 kg cart at a constant acceleration of 2.1 m/s^2. He is combatting a force of 24N of gravity. If Jack let go of the cart when the velocity was 1.5 m/s, how far would the cart travel before stopping?

The car will travel 1,41 m before stop.

Explanation:

F = m * a

- 24 N (loss) = 30 Kg * a

a = -24/30 = -0,8 m/s^2

Using the Torricelli equation:

V^2 = Vo^2 = 2*a*S

final velocity = 0 (when the car stops)

initial velocity = 1,5 m/s (when the driver stops the acceleration)

0^2 m/s = (1,5 m/s)^2 + (2 * -0,8 m/s^2 * S)

0 = 2,25 - 1,6S

S = -2,25/-1,6

S = 1,41 m

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
