Question 20

A loaded sledge slides across a flat, snow-covered field. The sledge initially has 160 J of energy in its kinetic energy store.

As the sledge moves 5.0 m, a frictional force of 22 N acts against its motion. No other force does work on the sledge.

a.

Calculate the energy in the kinetic energy store of the sledge after it has moved 5.0 m.

[3]
b.

Explain why the temperature of the sledge's runners increases as the sledge slides.
