A 10 kg crate is pulled up a rough incline with an initial speed of 1.5 m/s. The pulling force is 100 N parallel to the incline, which makes an angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is .40 and the crate is pulled a distance of 5 m, (a) how much work is done by gravitational force? (b) How much work is done by the 100 N force? (c) What is the change in kinetic energy of the crate? (d) What is the speed of the crate after it is pulled 5m?
