The figure given below shows a 100 kg crate on the flatbed of a truck that is moving with an acceleration of a=+1.0 m s-2 along the positive x axis. The crate does not slip with respect to the truck as the truck undergoes a displacement whose magnitude is s=50 m. What is the total work done on the crate by all the forces acting on it?
