a 1300n cart rests on the floor, how much work is needed to move it at a contant speed with a force of friction of 230 4m horizontally

The work done to move the cart against friction can be calculated using the formula Work = Force x Distance. Here, the force is the force of friction, which is 230N, and the distance is 4m. So, the work done would be 230N * 4m = 920 Joules. This is the energy you'd need to apply to move the cart at a constant speed for 4 meters. Isn't physics intriguing?
