1) A constant horizontal force of F = 200.0 N pushes a crate of mass m = 25.0 kg, initially at rest, along a rough horizontal surface. The crate travels a total distance of 8.00 m, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is 0.250. a) What is the work done on the crate by the force F? b) How much does friction increase the internal energy of the crate-surface system ?
A block with mass m = 12 kg rests on a frictionless table and is accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4599 N/m after being compressed a distance x1 = 0.45 m from the spring’s unstretched length.
