- A constant 82.5-N force acts on a 6.54-kg box. The box initially is moving at 20.5 m/s in the direction of the force, and some time later the box is moving at 57.7 m/s. Determine the work (in J) done by this force. You may assume that only one force acts on the box.arrow_forwardA raft is being dragged along a channel by two chains dragged to the right.

The sled is pushed until it reaches a final velocity of 6.05 m/s in a distance of 15.6 m. The coefficient of friction between the ice and runners of the sled is 0.200, and the weight of the child and the sled is 375 N. Find the work done by the force pushing the sled.arrow_forward
- A barge of mass 5.00 x104 kg is pulled along the Erie Canal by two mules, walking along towpaths parallel to the canal on either side of it. The ropes harnessed to the mules make angles of 45.0° to the canal. Each mule is pulling on its rope with a force of 1.40 kN.

The man then hops on his sled and slides from rest to the bottom of the hill back along his 50 meter path, during which a 299 N frictional force acts upon his sled. How much work in Joules does the man do against friction in pulling the sled up the hill?arrow_forward9. A man pushes an 80-N crate up a frictionless slope that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The man was able to push it to a distance of 5.0Om along the slope with a force parallel also to the slope. However the speed of the crate decreases at a rate of 1.5 m/s?.
