A construction worker did 50J of work lifting a rock a distance of 2 meters. How much force did he use?
Hope this helps!
Answer: 0.04 meters
Do you think meters is a force. Meters is a distance.
To determine the force used by the construction worker, we can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
Given that the work done is 50J (joules) and the distance is 2 meters, we need to rearrange the formula to solve for force:
Force = Work / Distance
Plugging in the values:
Force = 50J / 2m
To get the answer, we need to divide 50J by 2m:
Force = 25 Newtons (N)
Therefore, the construction worker used a force of 25 Newtons to lift the rock.
