Hi there!
(a)
Recall that:
W = Work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = Displacement (m)
Since this is a dot product, we only use the component of force that is IN the direction of the displacement. We can use the horizontal component of the given force to solve for the work.
To the nearest multiple of ten:
(b)
The object is not being displaced vertically. Since the displacement (horizontal) is perpendicular to the force of gravity (vertical), cos(90°) = 0, and there is NO work done by gravity.
Thus:
(c)
Similarly, the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement, so:
(d)
Recall that the force of kinetic friction is given by:
Since the force of friction resists the applied force (assigned the positive direction), the work due to friction is NEGATIVE because energy is being LOST. Thus:
In multiples of ten:
(e)
Simply add up the above values of work to find the net work.
Nearest multiple of ten:
(f)
Similarly, we can use a summation of forces in the HORIZONTAL direction. (cosine of the applied force)
Nearest multiple of ten:
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.
In our problem, the work done is
and the distance through which the force is applied is 
, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.
In our problem, the work done is
