How can you figure out the work done by the frictional force if the friction is 80 Newtons against a horizontal force of 290 newtons. Is it simply subtracting 290 - 80 = 210?

i am not a physics whiz but yes my dad is a physics whiz that is how you do it. you ae right
Um. Not quite. Work is force times distance. To get the work done by friction just multiply the friction force times the distance it acts over.
