A 46.0-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.80 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 171 N. The force P is parall

el to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250. Determine the work done on the box by (a) the applied force, (b) the friction force, (c) the normal force, and (d) by the force of gravity. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force.

Answer:

a) 1504.8 J

b) 991.76 J

c) 0J

d) 0J

Explanation:

(a) The work done by the force P on the box is given by the following formula:

W_P=Px

P: applied force = 171N

x: distance in which the for P is applied = 8.80m

you replace the values of P and x and obtain:

W_P=(171N)(8.80m)=1504.8J

(b) The work don by the friction force is:

W_f=F_fx=\mu N x=\mu Mg x

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.250

M: mass of the box = 46.0kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

W_f=(0.250)(46.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(8.80m)=991.76J

(c) The Normal force is

N=Mg=(46.0kg)(9,8m/s^2)=450.8N

but this force does not do work on the box because the direction is perpendicular to the direction of the force P.

W_N=0J

(d) the same as before:

W_g=0J

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.
Alex17521 [72]
The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.
