Calculate the amount of work done by the force in moving the object through a distance of 9 m if an object is horizontally dragged across the surface by a 130 N force acting parallel to the surface.
a
507 J
b
.070 J
c
1170 J
d
14 J
The amount of work done by a force can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force is 130 N and the distance is 9 m.
Work = 130 N x 9 m
Work = 1170 J
Therefore, the amount of work done by the force in moving the object through a distance of 9 m is 1170 J.
The answer is option c.
