Explanation:
a)
- Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
- This work, is just 4,475 J.
- So we can write the following equation:
- where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
- So, we can find the speed v, as follows:
b)
- The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:
- We can solve for F, as follows:
