Question: You try to keep a box lifted by pushing it up against a wall ( horizontally ) but it starts slipping. You continue to push

You try to keep a box lifted by pushing it up against a wall (horizontally) but it starts slipping. You continue to push with a constant force of 150 N as it falls on a countertop. The mass of the box is 50 kg . The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. The box starts out 0.5 meters above the countertop. Use the work energy theorem to find the velocity with which it hits the surface.
