Question
A 41.0-kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across level floor with a constant horizontal force of 135 N. For the first 15.0 m the floor is essentially frictionless, whereas for the next 12.0 m the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. (a) Calculate the work done by all the forces acting on the crate, during the entire 27.0 m path. (b) Calculate the total work done by all the forces. (c) Calculate the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 27.0 m.

Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given;
mass of the crate m = 41 kg
constant horizontal force = 135 N
where;
coefficient of kinetic friction
= 0.28
a)
To start with the work done by the applied force
Work done by friction:
Work done by gravity:
Work done by normal force;
b)
total work by all forces:
W = 2100.5 J
c) By applying the work-energy theorem;
total work done = ΔK.E
