- A force with a magnitude of 60 N is applied at an angle theta= 50 to the horizontal to an object initially at rest, displacing it 5 m from its initial location. The object weighs 50 kilograms and there is no friction. After this displacement, the force is no longer applied. Determine the work being done by the force? How fast is the object when the force is removed? When the force is no longer exerted, the item falls down a 10-meter-high cliff. When it reaches the ground, what is its velocity? When it strikes the ground, it slides along the ground, which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25.
