A person pulls a 11-kg toboggan for a distance of 3.5 m on a horizontal sheet of ice (frictionless) with a rope directed 25.0º above the horizontal snowy surface. The tension in the rope is 88 N. There is also a zephyr (soft gentle breeze) in the opposite direction of the motion applying a 11.0 N force.
(a) How much net work is done on the toboggan by ALL the forces acting on it?
(b) If the toboggan starts from rest, how fast is it moving after the 3.5 m distance?
(c) Use Dimensionality sense-making to check the expression you derive in part (b).
