Answer:
The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is
54.06 Joules.
Explanation:
Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2}[/tex] = 19.44 J in the x direction
Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be
KE₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2}[/tex] = 73.5 J in the y direction
Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final
= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J
