An object of mass 5 kg slides across a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.21. If the slides 5 meters in the positive x direction what is the work done by friction in Joules?
-
W = Ff*dcos(angle between force and displacement)
W = 0.21(5*9.8) * 5cos180
W = 10.29 * -5
W = -51.45J
W = 0.21(5*9.8) * 5cos180
