I am still not sure how you got to the final result. I am still studying the work-energy theorem and on case 2 I don't understand how you simplified from the 1st formula line to the 2nd line. Can you please explain?
Choose the correct answer:
1. We can distinguish three simple cases of action of a force and the work it does on a system:
A. When the force acts in the same direction and sense as the displacement, the work it does is positive (W> 0)
B. When the force acts in the same direction, but in the opposite direction to the displacement, the work that performs has a negative value (W <0)
C. When the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the displacement, it does no work (W = 0)
2. An example of negative work is:
A. Stop a ball.
B. Push a car
C. Walking with the backpack on the back
*Draw a diagram and solve number 2 in a clear and detailed solution.
1. A 10 N force is applied to push a 20 N block across a frictionless Surface for a displacement of 5.0 m to the right. What are the forces doing work on the object? What is the amount of work done by each force? How much work is done on the object?2. If the object in problem 1, is set on a surface with a 0.25 coefficient of friction, how much work is done?
