A 3.0N force applied on a 0.40kg mass makes the mass move at a constant speed of 3.0m/s, held back by friction. In the span of it moving through 4.0m, how much work does friction do on the given mass?

Solution
The correct option is E−12J Work done by 3.0N force is ,
W=f×d=3.0×4.0=12N
as the speed is constant therefore net work done will be zero i.e. work done by friction will be equal to the work done by a 3.0N force but in opposite direction , that is −12N .
