Problem 7-35 Work-energy theorem - B

A girl pulls a box of mass 20.8kg across the floor. She is exerting a force on the box of 95.6N, inclined at 35.0 above the horizontal. The kinetic friction force on the box has a magnitude of 75.5N. Use the work-energy theorem to determine the speed of the box after being dragged 0.750m, assuming it starts from rest. [Ans. 0.45m/s]


Accumulated Solution

FBD with all forces, directions and angles indicated.


Correct!
 
One of the following is incorrect; which one?

(A)   Work done = Change inEK

(B)   \sum F_d = \Delta ( ½ mv^2)

(C)   \sum F_d = \Delta E_K

(D)   \sum F_d = ½ m(v^2 - v_0{^2})

(E)   \sum F_d = ½ \;m(v - v_0)^2
