A 6.00-kg box is sliding to the right across the horizontal floor of an elevator. The coefficient of kinetic friction between th
e box and the floor is 0.360. Determine the kinetic frictional force that acts on the box when the elevator is accelerating upward with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.20 m/s2.

Answer:
The answer is 2,416 m/s. Let's jump in.
Explanation:
We do work with the amount of energy we can transfer to objects. According to energy theory:
W = ΔE
Also as we know W = F.x
We choose our reference point as a horizontal line at the block's rest point.<u> At the rest, block doesn't have kinetic energy</u> and <u>since it is on the reference point(as we decided) it also has no potential energy.</u>
Under the force block gains;
W = F.x →
In the second position block has both kinetic and potential energy. Following the law of conservation of energy;
W = ΔE = Kinetic energy + Potantial Energy
W = ΔE =
Here we can find h in the triangle i draw in the picture using sine theorem;

In our situation
