Correct answer: −61.5293 J.
= (80 kg) (9.8 m/s2 ) Explanation:
× (12 m) (1 − cos 60◦ ) To find the frictional force, Ff riction = µ N ,
= 4704 J . we need to find N from vertical force balance.
Note that N is in the same direction as the
y component of F and opposite the force of
gravity. Thus

Correct answer: 21.0526 m. Wnet = Fnet d cos θ 0 = −Fnet d
Explanation:
Basic Concepts: since θ 0 = 180◦ ⇒ cos θ 0 = −1.

Given:
Fnet = F1 − F2
vi = 4.0 m/s
Wnet = Fnet d cos θ = Fnet d
θ = 25◦
since θ = 0◦ ⇒ cos θ = 1.

m = 2.0 × 103 kg g = 9.81 m/s2
F1 = 1140 N
F2 = 950 N Solution:
vf = 2.0 m/s
Solution: Fnet = mg sin θ + µk mg cos θ
