Problem #2: Given the following figure where an object moves on a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.30 and where its initial velocity is equal to 4 meters/sec in that path: F = 4000 N, m = 1200 kg, 30°, 50 m.
a) Determine the magnitude of the weight (w).
b) Determine the magnitude of the normal (N).
c) Determine the magnitude of kinetic friction (Fk).
d) Determine the work done by each force on the object (Wn, Wf).
e) Determine the total work done (Wtotal).
f) Determine the initial kinetic energy (Ki).
g) Determine the final kinetic energy (Kf) using the work-energy theorem.
h) Determine the final velocity (v).
Solution:
