A 100.0 kg box is pushed across a snow-covered floor at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s by a horizontal force 196 N. The box then enters a 1.0 m long rough section where the coefficient of kinetic friction increases to 0.40, while the same horizontal force continues to be applied. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the box while it moves over the rough section? Calculate the net work done on the box as it travels across the rough patch. Determine the speed of the box when it reaches the end of the rough surface.
