Darla pushed a cart with 50 newtons of force 100 meters away from her house. How much work, measured in joules (J), did she do to move the cart?
a
150 J
b
2 J
c
5000 J
d
50 J
The calculation for work is given by W = Fd, where W is work, F is force, and d is distance. Plugging in the values, we get:
W = (50 N) x (100 m)
W = 5000 J
Therefore, Darla did 5000 joules of work to move the cart. The answer is (c) 5000 J.
