To find the value of the mystery displacement, we can use the formula for work:
Work = Force x Displacement x cos(angle)
Since the angle is not given, we can assume it to be zero degrees, so cos(angle) = 1.
Plugging in the given values:
376 J = 8.43 N x Displacement x 1
To find the displacement, we can divide both sides of the equation by 8.43 N:
Displacement = 376 J / 8.43 N
Calculating this:
Displacement ≈ 44.6 m
Therefore, the value of the mystery displacement is approximately 44.6 m.
