a force of 3.00 N acts through a distance of 12 m in the direction of the force. find the work done
a 4.00 kg crate is slowly lifted to a height of 1.50 m. how much work is done by the lifting force
To find the work done, you can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance × cos(θ)
Where:
- Force is the magnitude of the force applied (3.00 N in this case)
- Distance is the distance over which the force is applied (12 m in this case)
- θ (theta) is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement (which is 0 degrees since the force acts in the direction of displacement)
Plugging in the values, the equation becomes:
Work = 3.00 N × 12 m × cos(0°)
Now, the cosine of 0 degrees is 1, so the equation simplifies to:
Work = 3.00 N × 12 m × 1
= 36.00 J (Joules)
Therefore, the work done is 36.00 Joules.
