A worker pushes horizontally on a large crate with a force of 312 N, and the crate is moved 6.5 m. How much work was done?
Work = Force x Distance.
Try to remember that.
The answer (with those force and distance dimensions) will be in Joules.
To calculate the work done, we can use the formula:
Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d)
In this case, the force applied by the worker is 312 N and the distance the crate is moved is 6.5 m.
Substituting these values into the formula:
W = 312 N × 6.5 m
Calculating the work done:
W = 2028 N·m (or Joules)
Therefore, the work done by the worker in pushing the crate horizontally is 2028 Joules.
To find the work done by the worker in pushing the crate, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
Here, the force applied by the worker is 312 N, and the distance the crate is moved is 6.5 m. Plugging in these values into the formula, we have:
Work = 312 N x 6.5 m
Now, we can calculate the work done:
Work = 2028 N·m (or Joules)
Therefore, the worker has done 2028 Joules of work in pushing the crate horizontally.
