Question

The child's older and taller sibling then repeats the task of pushing the 10 kg box 7 m across the floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.1.  The older child exerts a 30 N force, but does so at an angle that is 60° below the horizontal.  (a)  How much work does the older child do on the box?  (b)  How much work does gravity to on the box?  (c) How much work does the normal force do on the box?  (d) How much work does the force of kinetic friction do on the box?  (e)  What is the total work done on the box?  (f)  What is the change in kinetic energy of the box?  (g)  If the box was again initially at rest, then how fast was the box moving at the end of the older child's efforts?
