A person raises a box with a weight of 50 newtons by 0.5 meter. How much work in joules does the person do in this action?
The work done by a person in lifting the box can be calculated using the formula:
Work = force × distance
Here, the force is 50 newtons, and the distance is 0.5 meters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Work = 50 N × 0.5 m = 25 J
Therefore, the person does 25 joules of work in raising the box.
