Title: Understanding Work and Energy in Physics

---

**Problem Context:**
A crate is pulled with a force of 30 N over a distance of 2.0 m at an angle θ = 30°. The frictional force on the block is 8.0 N.

**a) What is the change in thermal energy?**

Options:
- A. 52 N·m
- B. -52 N·m
- C. +16 N·m (Correct)
- D. -16 N·m
- E. 0
- F. None of the above

**Explanation:**
The solution shows the correct change in thermal energy as +16 N·m. This is derived from the work done by friction.

**b) What is the change in gravitational potential energy?**
- \(\Delta U_g = 0\)

**Explanation:**
There is no change in gravitational potential energy since the movement occurs horizontally.

**c) Energy Principle:**

The diagram includes a person pulling a crate, illustrating the forces involved:

- **W_tension = 52 J**: Work done by the tension in the rope.
- **W_friction = -16 J**: Work done against friction.
- **W_normal = 0**: Work done by the normal force.
- **W_weight = 0**: Work done by the weight of the crate.

These components are crucial for analyzing the energy changes in the scenario. The positive and negative signs indicate the direction of energy change (energy input vs. energy lost due to friction). The diagram helps visualize these interactions with appropriate labeling and a figure showing the angle and forces acting on the crate.
