Physics

A person pushes a 24.2-kg shopping cart at a constant velocityfor a distance of 17.6 m on a flat horizontal surface. She pushesin a direction 22.7 ° below the horizontal. A 42.4-N frictionalforce opposes the motion of the cart. (a) What isthe magnitude of the force that the shopper exerts? Determine thework done by (b) the pushing force,(c) the frictional force, and (d)the gravitational force.

(a)

Apply Newton's second law of motion, Net force is,

               ΣF = F cos17.6 - f = 0

               F cos17.6 - f = 0

                             F   = f / cos17.6

=42.4/0.9532

                     Fshopper= 44.48 N

(b)

Work done by the pushing force is,

W1 = Fd cos17.6

                  = (42.4)(17.6)( cos17.6 )

                   ≈ 711 J

(c)

Work done by frictional force is,

W = fd Cos180

                = (42.4)(17.6)(-1)

                = - 746.24 J

(d)

Work done by Gravity is,

Wg = Fd cos90

                   = (mg)(0)

                   = 0 J
