This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.
The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".
The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

where,
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4
f = force applied = 38 N
d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m
Therefore,

<u>E = 258.4 J</u>

Answer:
2.64N
Explanation:
Force = mass * acceleration
Given
mass = 4kg
distance = 1.9m
Time t = 2.4s
Get the acceleration using the equation of motion
S = ut + 1/2at²
1.9 = 0 + 1/2a(2.4)²
1.9 = 5.76a/2
1.9 = 2.88a
a = 1.9/2.88
a = 0.66m/s²
Get the magnitude of the force
Force = 4 * 0.66
Force = 2.64N
Hence the net force acting on the fish is 2.64N
It’s true
