Question

What is the work done when a 22-N force pushes a cart 3.2 m?

Answer 1

`70.4J`

Explanation:

The work done is given by the equation

`W=F*d`

`W` is the work done in joules, which are equivalent per `("N"*"m")/"J"`

`F` is the force applied in newtons `(N)`

`d` is the distance moved in metres

So, we can plug in `F=22"N"`, `d=3.2"m"` into the equation to get

`W=22"N" * 3.2"m"=70.4"N" * "m" = 70.4J`
