Serway & Jewett β Energy of a System: Problem 1.
A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of \(35.0\text{ N}\) directed at an angle of \(25.0^\circ\) below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to balance various friction forces, so the cart moves at constant speed. (a) Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as she moves down a \(50.0\text{-m-long}\) aisle. (b) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the friction force doesnβt change, would the shopperβs applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? (c) What about the work done on the cart by the shopper?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as she moves d; (b) The shopper goes down the next aisle; (c) What about the work done on the cart by the shopper?
