If she can throw each rock with a speed of 7.5 m/s relative to the ground, causing the wagon to move, how many rocks must she throw per minute to maintain a constant average speed against a 3.9-N force of friction

Complete question:

A child sits in a wagon with a pile of 0.64-kg rocks. If she can throw each rock with a speed of 7.5 m/s relative to the ground, causing the wagon to move, how many rocks must she throw per minute to maintain a constant average speed against a 3.9-N force of friction

The number of rocks per minutes thrown is 49 rocks/min

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the rock, m = 0.64 kg

speed of the rock, v = 7.5 m/s

frictional force, = 3.9 N

For an object to move at a constant speed, the applied force must be equal to the frictional force.

where;

is the applied force

N/t is the number of rocks per minutes thrown

Substitute the given parameters;

Approximately 49 rocks/min
