Starting from rest, a person pushes a large bin of mass 50.0 kg with a constant force of 160 N. While the person pushes the bin, the coefficient of kinetic coefficient between the bin and the ground is 0.30. The person pushes the bin for 19 m.
a) What is the speed of the bin after 19 m of being pushed?
b) What is the work done on the bin? Identify what does the work for any values you state.
c) What is the change in the bin’s kinetic energy?
d) State whether this is an isolated system. If there are any amounts of energy not accounted for in parts b and c, use the work-energy theorem to identify what it is and how much.
