'Part F A box of mass m IS sliding down frictionless plane that is inclined at an angle @ above the horizontal, as shown in the figure (Figure 2) What is the work done on the box by the force due to gravity w, if the box moves distance d'

Step 1
First, we need to find the component of the gravitational force acting along the incline. The gravitational force acting on the box is $mg$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Show more…

A box with a mass of 5.53kg is sliding along a horizontal surface at constant velocity. It is pulled by a horizontal force, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.361.What is the work done, in joules, by the pulling force as the box moves a distance of 0.492 m?

A force of constant magnitude pushes a box up a vertical surface, as shown in the figure. The box moves at a constant speed. If the mass of the box is 4.0 kg, and it is pushed 2.2 m vertically upward, the coefficient of friction is 0.35, and the angle θ is 37°. What is the work done by the force, F? Use g = 10 m/s2.

A 50 kg box is pulled 10 m up a rough plane inclined 15° above the horizontal at constant speed by the force F = 260 N as shown in the diagram below: There are a total of 4 forces acting on the box. (a) How much work is done by the applied force? (b) What is the work done by the force of gravity? (c) From the work-energy theorem, find the work done by the force of friction and hence the force of friction.
