Question

Transcribed Image Text:8. A child pulls a friend in a little red wagon with constant speed. If the child pulls with a force of
16 N for 10.0m, and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25° above the horizontal,
how much work does the child do on the wagon? Assume the mass of the wagon system is
45 kg.
What is the coefficient of friction between the wagon and the ground?
If the friction force remains the same when the force applied by the child is doubled, what will
the final speed of the wagon be after travelling from rest for a distance of 10m?

There is a force of friction on the box Ff. How would you expect the amount of net work done in the x-direction (Wnet) to compare to Wpull, the amount of work done by the pulling force? Wnet = Wpull because Wpull is calculated using the net force Wnet Wpull because the friction force also does work Wnet = 0 because the pulling force and the friction force cancel outarrow_forwardA 5.40-kg box rests on a horizontal surface.

(Ignore the friction) a. Draw a free-body diagram of the cart showing all the forces acting on it. b. Find the work done by each of the forces (W, Fn, Fp) on the cart if the ramp is 7.5 m long. Hints: The question is very similar to the question of a piano sliding down an incline discussed in class. However, here the object is pushed up the incline. The forces Fn = mgcos(0), and Fp = mgsin(0), so don't spend time getting these using Newton's 2nd law. Also, the weight is W = mg. c. Find the net work done on the cart.arrow_forward
