After the box comes to rest at position x1, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v1. when the box reaches position

x2 (where x2>x1), how much work wp has the person done on the box? assume that the box reaches x2 after the person has accelerated it from rest to speed v1. express the work in terms of m, v0, x1, x2, and v1.

As we know by work energy theorem

total work done = change in kinetic energy

so here we can say that wok done on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system

W_p = KE_f - KE_i

initial the box is at rest at position x = x1

so initial kinetic energy will be ZERO

at final position x = x2 final kinetic energy is given as

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

now work done is given as

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - 0

so we can say

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

so above is the work done on the box to slide it from x1 to x2

saveliy_v [14]
The spectrum of light from the moon should very strongly resemble the spectrum of sunlight. The reason is that any light from the moon started out from the sun. Any difference in their spectra is only due to the moon absorbing more of some wavelengths and less of others. But since the moon appears colorless gray, we don't expect any particular colors to be strongly absorbed, otherwise the moon would look to be the colors of the light that's left.
