Plzzz hurry and asnwer correctly
3,496.5 N
To calculate the work done by the gardener, we need to use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force exerted by the gardener is 94.5 Newtons, and the distance the soil is moved is 53 meters. So, we plug these values into the formula:
Work = 94.5 N x 53 m
Now, let's calculate the result:
Work = 5010.5 Joules
Therefore, the correct answer is 5,010.5 J (Joules).
Please note that the given answer options contain incorrect values.
To calculate the work done by the gardener, we can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
The force exerted by the gardener is given as 94.5 Newtons, and the distance covered is 53 meters.
Substituting these values into the formula:
Work = 94.5 N × 53 m
Calculating this expression:
Work = 5,008.5 N
So, the correct answer is:
5,008.5 N
