Starting from rest, a student pulls a (25.0 A) kg box a distance of (4.50 B) m across the floor using a (134 C) N force applied at 35.0 degrees above horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.220 between the floor and the box. Find the work done by the pulling force. Give your answer in joules (J) and with 2 significant figures.

Respuesta :

A 25.0 kg box is moved 4.50 m by a force of 134 N applied at 35.0° above horizontal. The work done by the pulling force is 4.9 × 10² J.

Starting from rest, a student pulls a 25.0 kg box a distance of 4.50 m across the floor using a 134 N force applied at 35.0 degrees above horizontal.

We can calculate the work  (W) done by the pulling force using the following expression.

[tex]W = F \times d \times cos\theta = 134 N \times 4.50 m \times cos35.0\° = 4.9 \times 10^{2} J[/tex]

where,

  • F: puling force
  • d: displacement
  • θ: angle between F and d

The friction between the floor and the box. does not influence the work done by the pulling force.
