- A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 33.0 N directed at an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to balance various friction forces, so the cart moves at constant speed. Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as she moves down a 54.2-m-long aisle. The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesn't change, would the shopper's applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? What about the work done on the cart by the shopper? Is the work larger in part a, or is the work larger in part b; or is the work the same in both parts?arrow_forwardShow work!

This expression assumes that the force is constant over the displacement ?x. If F is not constant, it can be shown that the work done is equal to the area under the curve force versus position.Based on what above said, calculate the work done by the force versus position represented in each graph (a), (b), and (c) in the figure below.arrow_forward
