A shopper at the Fries’ market place pushes a 13.0-kg shopping cart at a constant velocity for a distance of 58.7 m on a level s

urface. He pushes in a direction 24.50 below the horizontal. A 53.8 N frictional force opposes the motion of the cart. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the shopper exerts on the cart? (b) What is the work done by the pushing force? (c) What is the work done by the frictional force? (d) What is the work done by the gravitational force?

We do a force summatory, then,

a) \sum F=0

Fcos(24.5)-F_f= 0

Fcos(24.5)-53.8= 0

F= \frac{53.8}{cos(24.5)}

F=59.12 N

(b) For the Work we need the equiation with the variable in X.

W= F (d cos(24.5))

W= 59.12 (58.7) cos 24.5

W=3158.1 J

(c) However the Frictional Force Work,

W= F_f d

W= -53.8(58.7)

W=-3158.1 J

(d) Now the work by gravity

W_g= F d (cos(90))=0

W_g=0

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.  Note: this result does not match any value from your multiple choice list. Please see comment at the end of this answer.  

Explanation:

The acting force F=75N pushes block A into acceleration to the left. Through a kinetic friction force, block B also accelerates to the left, however, the maximum of the friction force (which is unknown) makes block B accelerate by 0.5 m/s^2 slower than the block A, hence appearing it to accelerate with 0.5 m/s^2 to the right relative to the block A.

To solve this problem, start with setting up the net force equations for both block A and B:

F_{Anet} = m_A\cdot a_A = F - F_{fr}\\F_{Bnet} = m_B\cdot a_B = F_{fr}

where forces acting to the left are positive and those acting to the right are negative. The friction force F_fr in the first equation  is due to A acting on B and in the second equation due to B acting on A. They are opposite in direction but have the same magnitude (Newton's third law). We also know that B accelerates 0.5 slower than A:

a_B = a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}

Now we can solve the system of 3 equations for a_A, a_B and finally for F_fr:

30kg\cdot a_A = 75N - F_{fr}\\24kg\cdot a_B = F_{fr}\\a_B= a_A-0.5 \frac{m}{s^2}\\\implies \\a_A=\frac{87}{54}\frac{m}{s^2},\,\,\,a_B=\frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}\\F_{fr} = 24kg \cdot \frac{10}{9}\frac{m}{s^2}=\frac{80}{3}kg\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 26.7N

The force of friction acting on block B is approximately 26.7N.
