A grocery cart is pulled along a rough horizontal surface of 6.0 N. It moves a distance of 7.0m at a constant speed. (a) How much work is done carried out by this force? (b) How much work is carried out by friction? Find the total work done.
Added by Tina P.
Step 1
- Force applied to the grocery cart, \( F = 6.0 \, \text{N} \) - Distance moved by the cart, \( d = 7.0 \, \text{m} \) - The cart moves at a constant speed, which implies that the net work done is zero. Show more…

You are buying groceries at KCC Mall. You pulled a grocery cart along a rough horizontal surface with a 6.0-N force. It moves through a distance of 7.0 m at a constant speed. (a) How much work is carried out by your applied force? (b) How much work is carried out by friction on the wheels of the cart? (c) What is the total work done on the cart?

A shopper pushes a grocery cart 20.0 m at a constant speed on level ground, against a 35.0 N frictional force. He pushes in a direction 25 degrees below the horizontal. a) What is the work done on the cart by friction? b) What is the work done on the cart by gravitational force?

A loaded grocery cart is rolling across a parking lot in a strong wind. You apply a constant force $\overrightarrow{F} =(30 \, \mathrm{N})\hat{\imath} - (40 \, \mathrm{N})\hat{\jmath}$ to the cart as it undergoes a displacement $\overrightarrow{s} = (-9.0 \, \mathrm{m})\hat{\imath} (3.0 \, \mathrm{m})\hat{\jmath}$. How much work does the force you apply do on the grocery cart?
