Answer:
I believe it is B, not 100% sure though
Explanation:
It must be sliding friction, because the fish is already in motion.
a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.
first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15
second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20
total work done: 35 J
b. the force was first applied = 6 N
F = m.a
a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²
vf²=vi²+2as
vf²=6²+2.2.5
vf²=56
vf=7.5 m/s
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy
