A person pushes a 24.6-kg shopping cart at a constant velocity for a distance of 16.7 m on a flat horizontal surface. She pushes in a direction 33.3∘ below the horizontal. A 35.5-N frictional force opposes the motion of the cart. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the shopper exerts? Determine the work done by (b) the pushing force, (c) the frictional force, and (d) the gravitational force.

A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 34.0 N directed at an angle of 25.0∘ below the horizontal. The force is just sufficient to balance various friction forces, so the cart moves at constant speed. (a) Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as she moves down a 55.0-m-long aisle. J (b) The shopper goes down the next aisle, pushing horizontally and maintaining the same speed as before. If the work done by frictional forces doesn't change, would the shopper's applied force be larger, smaller, or the same? larger smaller the same (c) What about the work done on the cart by the shopper? The work is larger in part (a). The work is larger in part (b). The work is the same in both parts.
