A box with mass of 2 kg is pushed directly horizontally over a horizontal surface (with friction) at a constant speed of 10 m/s. The force of the push is 60 N. How much thermal energy is generated pushing the box a distance of 15 m

E= 600 W

Explanation:

Given that

m = 2 kg

Speed ,  v= 10 m/s

Force , F= 60 N

Given that box is moving with constant velocity, it means that friction force will be 60 N.

f = 60 N

Therefore total energy generated

E= f x v

E= 60 x 10 = 600 W

E= 600 W

Thus the answer will be 600 W.

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.
