Creating new elements in order to study their properties is definitely pure research.
It has no earthly [known] application, since the elements don't even exist, whereas
for each of the other choices, you've stated the desired application as the reason
for the search.
When you catch the ball you act surprised, action- reaction
ANSWER:
F(h)= 230 N is the horizontal force you will need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
F(h) is Horizontal Force = 200 N
V is Speed = 2.4 m/s
The total weight increase by 42%
coefficient of rolling friction decrease by 19%
Since the velocity is constant so acceleration is zero; a=0
Now the horizontal force required to move the pickup is equal to the frictional force.
F(h) = F(f)
F(h) = mg* u
m is mass
g is gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2
200 = mg*u
Since weight increases by 42% and friction coefficient decreases by 19%
New weight = 1+0.42 = 1.42 = (1.42*m*g)
New friction coefficient = μ = 1 - 0.19 = 0.81 = 0.81 u
F(h) = (0.81μ) (1.42 m g)
= (0.81) (1.42) (μ m g)
= (0.81) (1.42) (200)
= 230 N
