A Block Is Pushed Across a Rough Horizontal Surface from Point

question 33

Multiple Choice

A block is pushed across a rough horizontal surface from point A to point B by a force (magnitude P = 5.4 N) as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force of friction acting on the block between A and B is 1.2 N and points A and B are 0.5 m apart. If the kinetic energies of the block at A and B are 4.0 J and 5.6 J, respectively, how much work is done on the block by the force P between A and B?

• A) 2.7 J
• B) 1.0 J
• C) 2.2 J
• D) 1.6 J
• E) 3.2 J
