Question
A student applies a horizontal force to move a crate at a constant speed across a rough floor. A second student then pushes the crate at the same speed with the same force but for only half the distance. How much more work did the second student do on the crate compared to the first?
half as much |
|
the same amount |

The crate has a mass of 150 KG and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and then incline is 0.25. Draw a diagram showing all the forces acting on the crate. How much work is done by the gravity on the crate during the slide? How much work is done by friction during the slide? Use the work energy theorem to calculate the speed attained at the bottom of the ramp.Also,Which force does no work during the slide, and why?arrow_forwardA man starts at ground level and carries a 20 kg box up a flight of stairs to a height of 3.6 m. He then carries the box down an adjacent flight of stairs back to ground level and ends up 10 m away from where he started. What is the total amount of work the man has done? Explainarrow_forward
- A worker pushing a 35.0-kg wooden crate at a constant speed for 13.6 m along a wood floor does 400 J of work by applying a constant horizontal force of magnitude F0 on the crate. (a) Determine the value of F0. ____N (b) If the worker now applies a force greater than F0, describe the subsequent motion of the crate. (c) Describe what would happen to the crate if the applied force is less than F0.arrow_forwardDo the following situations result in positive work, negative work, or zero work? Force is perpendicular to displacement. A force slows an object down. Force acts in the same direction as displacement. Force acts in the opposite direction of displacement. A force acts on an object that remains stationary.arrow_forwardA 10 kg barbell is rolling down a hill. There is no friction or air resistance acting on it, only the force of gravity. If it starts out moving 2 ms1, and ends up moving 7 ms1, then how much work does gravity do on it?arrow_forward
