It took Meghan 50 Joules to carry her shopping bags 5 meters to the car. How much force did she use?
Work = Force x Distance
a
250 Newtons
b
10 meter
c
10 Newtons
d
55 Joules
We can rearrange the formula to solve for force:
Force = Work / Distance
Substituting the values given:
Force = 50 J / 5 m
Force = 10 N
Therefore, Meghan used a force of 10 Newtons to carry her shopping bags to the car.
The correct answer is option c) 10 Newtons.
To find the force Meghan used, we can rearrange the formula for work:
Work = Force x Distance
Rearranging the formula, we can solve for Force:
Force = Work / Distance
Plugging in the given values:
Work = 50 Joules
Distance = 5 meters
Force = 50 Joules / 5 meters = 10 Newtons
Therefore, Meghan used a force of 10 Newtons to carry her shopping bags to the car.
To find the force used by Meghan, we can rearrange the equation for work as follows:
Work = Force x Distance
Given that Work is 50 Joules and Distance is 5 meters, we can substitute these values into the equation:
50 Joules = Force x 5 meters
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5 meters gives us:
Force = 50 Joules / 5 meters
Simplifying further:
Force = 10 Joules/meter
Therefore, Meghan used a force of 10 Joules/meter to carry her shopping bags to the car.
