A 41 kg box initially at rest is pushed 4 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied force of 121 N. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.29, find (a) the work done by the applied force
4.84×102 J
b) the increase in internal energy of the box + floor system due to friction 4.67×102 J
c) the work done by the normal force on the block due to the floor
0.00 J
d) the work done by the gravitation force on the block due to the Earth 0.00 J
e) the change in kinetic energy of the box
I have everything else figured out here I'm stuck. The change of kinetic energy I used the equation ΔK= -fk(d) which would equal -4.66e2 J but I'm not sure if there's another force that I need to add on. If there is where?
f) the final speed of the box: for this I orignally used W=1/2mvf^2- 1/2mvi^2 making it 484=1/2(41)vf^2 which would give a final velocity of 4.86m/s is this right?
