A proton (mass m = 1.67 X 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 3.6 X 1015 rnIs in a machine. If the proton has an initial speed of 2.4 X 107 mls and travels 3.5 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?

Question
Figure 7-27 shows three forces applied to a trunk that moves leftward by 3.00 m over a frictionless fioor. The force magnitudes are F1 = 5.00 N, F2 = 9.00 N, and F3 = 3.00 N, and the indicated angle is 0 = 60.0. During the displacement, (a) what is the net work done on the trunk by the three forces and (b) does the kinetic energy of the trunk increase or decrease?
Solution
The first step in solving 7 problem number 15 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 7-27 shows three forces applied to a trunk that moves leftward by 3.00 m over a frictionless fioor. The force magnitudes are F1 = 5.00 N, F2 = 9.00 N, and F3 = 3.00 N, and the indicated angle is 0 = 60.0. During the displacement, (a) what is the net work done on the trunk by the three forces and (b) does the kinetic energy of the trunk increase or decrease?
From the textbook chapter Kinetic Energy and Work you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
