Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the work done against friction if a box is moved 5 m on a surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.2 and a normal force of 200 N?
  • Step 1: Identify the coefficient of friction (μ), which is given as 0.2.
  • Step 2: Identify the normal force (N), which is given as 200 N.
  • Step 3: Calculate the frictional force using the formula: Frictional force = μ * N.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values: Frictional force = 0.2 * 200 N.
  • Step 5: Calculate the frictional force: Frictional force = 40 N.
  • Step 6: Identify the distance the box is moved, which is given as 5 m.
  • Step 7: Calculate the work done against friction using the formula: Work done = frictional force * distance.
  • Step 8: Substitute the values: Work done = 40 N * 5 m.
  • Step 9: Calculate the work done: Work done = 200 J.
