Return to the Chapter-Opening Question, page 163, and answer it again now. Try to explain why you may have answered differently the first time.
CHAPTER-OPENING QUESTION—Guess now!
You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:
- (a) Whether or not it moves, as long as you are exerting a force.
- (b) Only if it starts moving.
- (c) Only if it doesn’t move.
- (d) Never—it does work on you.
- (e) None of the above.

kindly help.
Please answer all 3 subparts.
1. A robot begins pushing a 10kg box that was already moving at 0.5m/s [Right] along a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15. The robot pushes with only 30N [Right] of force.
a) What is the acceleration of the box?
b) Using the Work-Energy theorem, calculate how much work the robot does on the box accelerating it from 0.5m/s [Right] to 2m/s [Right].
c) What distance did the robot push the box? Use kinematics to check your work.
Please Answer part D only. questions A,B,C are just there as context should it be needed.
