Chapter 8: Q43P (page 206)
A collie drags its bed box across a floor by applying a horizontal force of 8.0 N. The kinetic frictional force acting on the box has magnitude 5.0 N . As the box is dragged through 0.70 malong the way, what are (a) the work done by the collie鈥檚 applied force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the bed and floor?
Short Answer
- The work done by the force of the coolie is .
- The increase in thermal energy of the block鈥揻loor system is
