Question
A food shipper pushes a wood crate of cabbage heads (total mass m = 14 kg) across a concrete floor with a constant horizontal force F⃗ of magnitude 40 N. In a straight-line displacement of magnitude d = 0.50 m, the speed of the crate decreases from v0 = 0.60 m/s to v = 0.20 m/s.
(a) How much work is done by force F⃗, and on what system does it do the work? (b) What is the increase ∆Eth in the thermal energy of the crate and floor?
