- Calculating work
- A 1170 kg car travels at 11.0 m/s.
- How much work needs to be done on the car to accelerate it to 24.0 m/s?
- What is the net force acting on the car that accelerates it, if the acceleration is uniform and happens over 95.0 m?
- A 5.50 kg box slides across a floor at 12.0 m/s. Friction slows the box to 2.00 m/s after is has travelled 13.0 m. Find the work done on the box and the force of friction acting on the box.
- A 2.50 kg box is initially at rest at the top of a 30.0° slope and reaches a speed of 11.5 m/s when it slides 12.0 m down the slope. Find the force of friction acting on the box.
- A 1170 kg car travels at 11.0 m/s.
- Calculating work with force applied at an angle
A force of 885 N pulls on a box at an angle of 28.0° above the horizontal. 115 N of friction acts on the box as it slides 19.0 m. How much work does the 885 N force do on the box?
