4. Here we prove a version of the work-kinetic energy theorem for an object moving in 1-D subject to a constant force. Consider a mass m, traveling initially at speed v, on which a constant net force F is applied in the same direction as its motion over a distance d. After the net force has acted over this distance, the speed of the object is v2. In terms of m, F, v1, v2, and d only, V, A) What is the acceleration of the mass? t=0 m F d t>0_m B) What is the time over which the mass travels the V, distance d? [Use one equation of constant acceleration to find this.] C) Use another equation of constant acceleration to relate m, F, v,, v2, and d. Show that the product W = Fd is equal to the change in the mass’s kinetic energy.
