A balky cow is leaving the barn as you try harder and harder to push her back in. In coordinates with the origin at the barn door, the cow walks from x = 0 to x = 6.9 m as you apply a force with x-component F _ { x } = - [ 20.0 N + ( 3.0 N / m ) x ]F x =−[20.0N+(3.0N/m)x]. How much work does the force you apply do on the cow during this displacement?

The work done is -209.42 J.

Explanation:

F(x) = (- 20 - 3 x ) N

x = 0 to x = 6.9 m

Here, the force is variable in nature, so the work done by the variable force is given by

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
