You can tell a lot about an object that's not moving,
and also a lot about the forces acting on it:

==> If the box is at rest on the table, then it is not accelerating.

==> Since it is not accelerating, I can say that the forces on it are balanced.

==> That means that the sum of all forces acting on the box is zero,
and the effect of all the forces acting on it is the same as if there were
no forces acting on it at all.

==> This in turn means that all of the horizontal forces are balanced,
AND all of the vertical forces are balanced.

Horizontal forces:
sliding friction, somebody pushing the box

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero. So ...

(sliding friction force) = (pushing force), in the opposite direction.

If nobody pushing the box, then sliding friction force = zero.

Vertical forces:
gravitational force (weight of the box, pulling it down)
normal force (table pushing the box up)

All of the forces on this list must add up to zero, so ...

(Gravitational force down) + (normal force up) = zero

(Gravitational force down) = -(normal force up) .

Compare the potential energy of a 5 lb ball at the top of a 5 foot hill and a 5 lb ball at the top of a 10 foot hill.
krek1111 [17]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.
Potential energy is given by mass× gravitational acceleration × height
         That is energy = mgh
For the first ball the potential energy is 2.268 ×10 ×5 = 113.4 J (5 lb = 2.268 kg)
          The second ball with the same mass will have 2.268 ×10 ×10 = 226.8 J
Thus, the potential energy is dependent on the height of a given body and therefore the ball at the 5 foot hill has less potential energy.

A horizontal force pushes a 26 kg sled along a driveway for a distance of 36 m. If the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.2, w
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:1834.56 joules

Explanation:

Distance=36m

Coefficient of friction=0.2

Mass=26kg

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s^2

Reaction=mass x acceleration due to gravity

Reaction=26 x 9.8

Reaction=254.8N

Coefficient of friction=frictional force ➗ reaction

0.2=frictional force ➗ 254.8

Frictional force=0.2 x 254.8

Frictional force=50.96N

work=friction force x distance

Work=50.96 x 36

Work=1834.56

Work=1834.56 joules
