A horse with a force of 50 N pulls a cart of wood a distance of 10 m. Calculate the amount of work done.
work= force x distance
50 x 10= 500
500
60kg
To calculate the amount of work done, you can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
In this case, the force exerted by the horse is 50 N and the distance it pulls the cart is 10 m. Plugging these values into the formula:
Work = 50 N × 10 m
Multiplying 50 N by 10 m, we get:
Work = 500 N·m
The unit of work is a newton-meter (N·m), which is also called joule (J). Therefore, the amount of work done is 500 joules (J).
