A soccer player kicks a ball, applying a force of 1,000 newtons over a distance of 0.2 meter. The ball travels 50 meters down the field before another player stops the ball. How much work was done during the kick?
work in = Force applied * distance moved in direction of force
= 1000 Newtons * 0.2 meter = 200 Joules
To find the work done during the kick, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force applied is 1,000 newtons and the distance over which it is applied is 0.2 meters. Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Work = 1,000 N x 0.2 m
Now we can calculate the work:
Work = 200 N·m
Therefore, the work done during the kick is 200 Newton-meters (N·m).
To find the work done during the kick, you can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
Given:
Force = 1,000 newtons
Distance = 0.2 meter
Plug the given values into the formula:
Work = 1,000 newtons × 0.2 meter
Calculating this:
Work = 200 newton-meters (or joules)
Therefore, the work done during the kick is 200 joules.
