Problem

A 4 kg4\,\text{kg} block is pulled on a rough horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force of 30 N30\,\text{N}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.250.25. The block moves 5 m5\,\text{m} in the direction of the applied force. What is the net work done on the block? (a) 150 J150\,\text{J} (b) 101 J101\,\text{J} (c) −101 J-101\,\text{J} (d) 112.5 J112.5\,\text{J}
