How Much Force Was Applied to Move a Car Over 127 Meters?

AI Thread Summary
To find the force applied to move a car over 127 meters with 1550 joules of work done, the equation W = Fd can be used. Here, W represents work, F is the force, and d is the distance. Given the values, the force can be calculated by rearranging the equation to F = W/d. Substituting in the known values, the force can be determined easily. This straightforward application of the work equation clarifies the solution process.

There's only one equation that you need here, the basic equation for work:

W=Fd

You know the value for work, and you know the distance travelled, so finding the force shouldn't be too difficult from there :smile:
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
