Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} crate starts from rest and is pulled horizontally by a constant 15 N15\,\text{N} force along a surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk=0.20\mu_k = 0.20. Derive and state a simplified algebraic expression for the instantaneous net power P(t)P(t) (in watts) delivered to the crate as a function of time tt (in seconds).
