i got fx-ma=friction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah sorry thats for another problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change in kinetic energy=work done so work done is zero or another way to prove that W=force*displacement as displacement is zero so work done is zero:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i thought and it said i was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob then ask other:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -107801.82J for kinetic energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer
