Homework Statement
A girl pushes her little brother on his sled with a force of 300N for 750m. How much work is done if the force of friction is a) 200N and b) 300N?
Homework Equations
[tex] W = F \Delta x [/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex] F_{net} = F_p - F_f [/tex]
[tex] F_{net} = 300N - 200N = 100N [/tex]
[tex] W = F \Delta x [/tex]
[tex] W = (100N)(750m) = 75000 N{\cdot}m = 7.5 x 10^4 J [/tex]
That answer is wrong, its supposed to be 2.25 x 10^5 J
what did i do wrong?
