Aboy pulls a 30.0-kg box with a 210-n force at 39° above a horizontal surface. if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the horizontal surface is is 0.23 and the box is pulled a distance of 38.0 m, what is the work done by the friction force on the box?

W= - 1414.48 J  : Work done by the friction force on the box.

Explanation:

Work concept

The work (W) of a given force is defined as the product of the force (F) by the distance(d) in which the force acted.

W= F*d :in (Joules)  Formula (1)

Friction force concept

Ff=μk*N  Formula (2)

μk=coefficient of kinetic friction

N= Normal force

We apply Newton's first law for forces in the direction of the axis y

∑Fy=0 Equation (1)

The forces acting on the box in the direction of the axis and are the following:

We apply equation (1) and do the algebraic sum of forces in y

Fy+N-W=0

132.16+N-294=0

N= 294-132.16=161.84 N

We apply formula (2) to calculate Ff:

Ff= -0.23*161.84=-37,22N  The frictional force is negative because it goes in the opposite direction to the displacement.

We apply formula (1) to calculate the work done by the friction force on the box

W= - 37,22 N * 38 m = -1414.48 N*m = -1414.48 J

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
