A crate with a mass of 40 kg is pulled by a force horizontally with constant speed for 10 m The kinetic friction force is 10 N What is the work done by the force?

If the speed is constant, then the forces on the crate are balanced, i.e. they add up to zero.
Since the kinetic friction force is 10N, then the puller must be pulling the crate with an equal force of 10N.
If he continues pulling with the force of 10N through a distance of 10 m, then the work he does is
(10 x 10) = 100 newton-meters or 100 joules.
The mass of the crate is utterly irrelevant to the discussion.

The resistance to motion of an object being pulled over a surface is called?
Kinetic friction.
A 26.0 KG-box was pulled horizontally in a rightward direction with an applied force of 278.0 Newtons. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surfaces of the box and the floor is 0.230. Whats is the magnitude of the net force on the box?
2.5 m/s/s.
When an object is pulled on a level surface at a constant velocity what force is the pulling force equal to?
If there is no friction or anything that can impede the movement off the object, then the force is zero. If there is friction, then the force is equal to that of the friction.
Kinetic frictions is the frictional force needed to start an object at rest into motion?
false. Kinetic friction is the friction acting upon a moving object. It would be the frictional force against you if you pulled a box across a table. Static friction is the frictional force needed to overcome to get an object at rest into motion.
A sled of mass 53.0 kg is pulled along flat snow-covered ground The static friction coefficient is 0.30 and the kinetic friction coefficient is 0.10 a What force will be needed to start the sled movin?
Ignore the kinetic friction coefficient, that is only in the problem to trick you. If the force pulling the sled is parallel to the ground, then the problem should be pretty easy. Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
When can a pulley have kinetic energy?
It could have kinetic energy when the strings are being pulled and it is in operation
What results when forces within earth are pulled horizontally in opposite directions?
shearing
What result when forces within the earth are pulled horizontally in opposite directions?
a-plus compression
What results when forces within the earth are pulled horizontally opposite directions?

If you pulled a wagon to the right what is the reaction?
Physics and friction.
Is a pulled bow ready to shoot an arrow is it a potential or kinetic?
Potential.
A magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200g mug located 30cm from the edge of the earth The cloth exerts a friction force of 0.10N on the mug and the cloth is pulled with a constant acceleration?
Trick question; the earth is round and doesn't have any edges.
