Mr.wilinson carried his backpack 12kilometers and set up camp on the edge of cutthroat lake it took him 3 hours to get there from the trailhead how much work did he do on his backpack on the hike in?(1pound=453.7grams=4.1newtons)EXPAIN
How much work is done when a 1 kilogram mass is raised a vertical distance of 1 meter?
To calculate the work done by Mr. Wilkinson on his backpack during the hike, we need to use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
First, let's convert 1 pound to newtons. We know that 1 pound is equal to 4.1 newtons.
Now, let's convert 12 kilometers to meters, as the formula requires the distance to be in meters. We know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so:
Distance = 12 kilometers x 1000 meters/kilometer
Distance = 12,000 meters
So, the distance Mr. Wilkinson carried his backpack is 12,000 meters.
Next, we need to calculate the force applied. Since we are given the conversion rate of 1 pound to 4.1 newtons, we can calculate the force:
Force = 1 pound x 4.1 newtons/pound
Force = 4.1 newtons
Now, we have all the values we need to calculate the work:
Work = Force x Distance
Work = 4.1 newtons x 12,000 meters
By multiplying the force and distance, we can find the work done by Mr. Wilkinson on his backpack during the hike.
