A 45 kg block of ice slides down a frictionless incline l.5 m long and 0.91 m
Question:
A 45 kg block of ice slides down a frictionless incline l.5 m long and 0.91 m high, a worker pushes up against the ice, parallel to the incline, so that the block slides down at constant speed.
(a) Find the magnitude of the worker's force. How much work is done on the block by?
(b) The worker's force,
(c) The gravitational force on the block,
(d) The normal force on the block from the surface of the incline, and
(e) The net force on the block?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
