Our friend Wile E. Coyote (SuperGenius) has developed another secret yet incredibly cunning plan to catch the Road Runner. The plan hinges upon the proper placement of his new AcmeTM Mobile Large Spherical Projectile Launch Apparatus really big cannon on wheels. Our hero pushes the 2120 kg cannon from rest to a speed of 8.75 m/s over a horizontal surface with a constant horizontal force. During this time, the cannon moves a whopping distance of 48 meters. Neglecting any friction between the cannon and the surface, determine: in other words, a (a) The work done by Wile E. Coyote; (b) The constant horizontal force exerted on the cannon.
