Answer the following: 

Q3
A trolley of mass 80 kg is being pulled by along a horizontal path. Figure 3.1
shows the force, T, exerted on the trolley and the frictional force, F, acting
between the trolley and the path. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².
cos 37° = 0.798 and sin 37° = 0.602.

Figure 3.1.
In order to keep the trolley moving at a constant speed of 0.85 m/s, a
force of 120 N is exerted at an angle of 37° to the horizontal. Calculate the
frictional force, F.
Calculate the work done to pull the trolley a distance of 75 m.
(iv) After travelling 75 m, the trolley is no longer pulled. Explain why the trolley
continues to roll forward and calculate the distance you would expect the
trolley to travel. State any assumptions you have made in determining this
distance.
