Question

A box with mass of 2 kg is pushed directly horizontally over a horizontal surface (with friction) at a constant speed of 10 m/s. The force of the push is 60 N. How much thermal energy is generated pushing the box a distance of 15 m

Answer 1

E= 600 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

m = 2 kg

Speed , v= 10 m/s

Force , F= 60 N

Given that box is moving with constant velocity, it means that friction force will be 60 N.

f = 60 N

Therefore total energy generated

E= f x v

E= 60 x 10 = 600 W

E= 600 W

Thus the answer will be 600 W.
