A 40 kg container is initially at rest and then is pushed by a hydraulic cylinder with a force (kN) = 160 - 10 s. The coefficient of friction between the container and the floor is .26. Give one reason why it may be quickest to use energy methods to determine the velocity of the container after 4 meters. Find this velocity.
