A horizontal force of 10 N is applied on a block of mass 1.5 kg which is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. The work done by the applied force in a time of 6 s from the beginning of the motion is (Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\); the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.2 )

  1. A 588 J
  2. B 360 J
  3. C 840 J
  4. D 420 J

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 840 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( N = mg \) \( N = 1.5 \times 10 = 15 \mathrm{~N} \) \( f_k = \mu_k N \) \( f_k = 0.2 \times 15 = 3 \mathrm{~N} \) \( F_{net} = F_{applied} - f_k \) \( F_{net} = 10 - 3 = 7 \mathrm{~N} \) \( a = \frac{F_{net}}{m} \) \( a = \frac{7}{1.5} = \frac{14}{3} \mathrm{~ms^{-2}} \)…
