If it doesn't move, it doesn't accelerate; therefore the net force must be zero.

What amount of work is don't on a chair pushed 9m across a floor by a horizontal 30-N net force?

Work = (force) x (distance) = 30 x 9 = 270 joules


What horizontal force P is required to drag a sack of rice weighing 110 pounds. in a horizontal floor if the coefficient of friction between the floor on the sack of rice is 0.25?

27.5 lbs


A force of 320 N is required to pull a box across the floor at a constant velocity What is the force of friction between the floor and the box?

It's 320 N. Since the friction force is in the direction opposite to the motion, thepulling force and the friction force balance, the net horizontal force on the box iszero, and its speed is therefore constant.


A shopping bag is hanging straight down from your hand as you walk across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity does this force do any work while you are riding up an escalator at constant velocit?

While you are walking across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity, the force your hand exerts on the bag does no work. However, when you ascend an escalator, the force does perform work on the bag. Why? To do work is to change the energy of an object. In this case we have either kinetic energy, or gravitational potential energy. The first case we are walking on a horizontal floor, there is no change in height, thus no change in potential energy. We are also moving at a constant speed, thus no change in kinetic energy. If we sped up, or slowed down, then we would do work. In the second case, we are ascending an escelator, and changing the height. This changes the gravitational potential energy, and thus does work.
