Answer:
2.7 J
Explanation:
Given that
Distance pushed through, s = 1.5 m
Force of the push, F(push) = 2.4 N
Opposing force of friction, F(f) = 0.6 N
See attachment for solution
The net work done is a sum of the calculated work done, and is given as
W(net) = 3.6 +(-0.9) + 0 + 0
W(net) = 2.7 J
Thus, the net work done is 2.7 J
Answer:
2.7 J
Explanation:
From the question,
The Net work done by the crate = Work done by the crate in moving if through a distance- work done against friction.
W = Fd-F’d……………….. Equation 1
Where F = force applied to the crate, d = distance moved by the crate, F’ = force of friction
Given: F = 2.4 N, F’ = 0.6 N, d = 1.5 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
W = 2.4(1.5)-0.6(1.5)
W = 3.6-0.9
W = 2.7 J
