<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>
Explanation:
The Work done by a Force
refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(1)
In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box
by the distance traveled
.
Hence:
(2)
The force required is 319 N
Explanation:
The force of static friction is a force that acts an object on a surface, when this object is pushed by another force to put it in motion. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction of the force of push, and its value increases as the force of push increases, up to a maximum value given by:
where
is the coefficient of friction
W is the weight of the object
Therefore, in order to put the object in motion, the force applied must be greater than this value.
For the pile of leaves in this problem, we have:
(coefficient of friction)
(weight of the leaves)
Substituting, we find:
