Question

Jack pulls a box across the floor with a horizontal forces, the box moves at a constant velocity, a frictional force is acting on the box for 10m and jack does 300 J of work in pulling the box over that 10m l, what was the frictional force on the box? Jack pulls a box across the floor with a horizontal forces, the box moves at a constant velocity, a frictional force is acting on the box for 10m and jack does 300 J of work in pulling the box over that 10m l, what was the frictional force on the box?

Explanation / Answer

it is given that the box moves at constant velocity so it means the net force is zero

in the other sense

friction force = applied force.

workdone = (force) (displacement)

frictional force = (workdone) / (displacement)

   = 300 / 10

   = 30 N
