7.1 Exercise 22

Avg difficulty 2.5

A 5.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and surface is μK=0.50.\mu_{K} = 0.50 . A horizontal force pulls the box at constant velocity for 10 cm. Find the work done by (a) the applied horizontal force, (b) the frictional force, and (c) the net force.
