If 25 Joules of work is done to push an object a distance of 5 meters, what force was exerted?
a. 5 N
b. 0.2 N
c. 125 N
d. none of these
To find the force exerted, we can use the formula:
Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d)
Given that W = 25 Joules and d = 5 meters, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the force:
F = W / d
F = 25 J / 5 m
F = 5 N
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a. 5 N
