A 100-N force is used to push a 15 kg carton 5 meters along the sidewalk. How much work was done? *
To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
Given that the force is 100 N and the distance is 5 meters:
Work = 100 N × 5 m = 500 N·m
So, 500 N·m of work was done.
To find the work done, you can use the formula:
Work = Force * Distance
Given:
Force = 100 N
Distance = 5 meters
Substituting these values into the formula:
Work = 100 N * 5 meters
Calculating the multiplication:
Work = 500 N-m
Therefore, the work done to push the carton is 500 N-m.
w = f * d
Joules = Newtons * meters
