I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.

A factory worker pushes a 32.0 kg crate a distance of 7.0 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) 81.54 N

(b) 570.75 J

(c) - 570.75 J

(d) 0 J, 0 J

(e) 0 J  

Explanation:

mass of crate, m = 32 kg

distance, s = 7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.26

(a) As it is moving with constant velocity so the force applied is equal to the friction force.

F = 0.26 x m x g = 0.26 x 32 x 9.8 = 81.54 N

(b) The work done on the crate

W = F x s = 81.54 x 7 = 570.75 J

(c) Work done by the friction

W' = - W = - 570.75 J

(d) Work done by the normal force

W'' = m g cos 90 = 0 J

Work done by the gravity

Wg = m g cos 90 = 0 J

(e) The total work done is

Wnet = W + W' + W'' + Wg = 570.75 - 570.75 + 0 = 0 J

The greater the mass is in an object, the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. Please select the best
Fofino [41]
This statement is true. The greater the mass is in an object, it is indeed the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. That only mean that the mass of an object and its resistance to change of movement is directly proportional.

Answer:

Refraction

Explanation:

When light passes from a rarer medium into a denser medium, it bends in the medium away from the normal. This creates the phenomenon of "apparent depth" as given in the question.
