Slim Jim carries a box for 6m atconstant speedA. How much kinetic energy does the box have?B. How much work does Jim do?

A.
In order to calculate the kinetic energy of the box, we can use the formula below:
[tex]KE=\frac{mv^2}{2}[/tex]Where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Using m = 12 kg and v = 3 m/s, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} KE=\frac{12\cdot3^2}{2} \\ KE=6\cdot9 \\ KE=54\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]B.
The work done by Jim can be calculated with the formula below:
[tex]W=F\cdot d[/tex]Where F is the force and d is the distance.
The force applied is equal to the weight force of the box, so:
[tex]\begin{gathered} W=(m\cdot g)\cdot d \\ W=12\cdot9.8\cdot6 \\ W=705.6\text{ J} \end{gathered}[/tex]
