Answer:
the distance moved by the box is 70.03 m.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the box, m = 35 kg
initial velocity of the box, u = 10 m/s
frictional force, F = 25 N
Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the deceleration of the box;
-F = ma
a = -F / m
a = (-25 ) / 35
a = -0.714 m/s²
The distance moved by the box is calculated as follows;
v² = u² + 2ad
where;
v is the final velocity of the box when it comes to rest = 0
0 = 10² + (2 x - 0.714)d
0 = 100 - 1.428d
1.428d = 100
d = 100 / 1.428
d = 70.03 m
Therefore, the distance moved by the box is 70.03 m.
