A 46.0-kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 11.0 m the floor is frictionless, and for the next 10.0 m the coefficient of friction is 0.20.


What is the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 21.0 m?

Answer #1

net work done on the crate = F*(d1+d2) - mue*m*g*d2

= 225*(11+10) - 0.2*46*9.8*10

= 3823.4 J

work done = chnage in kinetic enrgy

3823.4 = 0.5*m*v^2

v = sqrt(2*3823.4/46)

= 12.893 m/s
