Question

Abe uses a wheelbarrow to move soil from his garden to a new flowerbed. He exerts an average force of 185 N while pushing the wheelbarrow, and he does 6.1 kJ of work while moving each load of soil. How far is he moving the soil?

Answer 1

The distance he moved the soil is 32.97 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

force exerted on the wheelbarrow, F = 185 N

work done in moving the soil, w = 6.1 kJ = 6100

The work done in moving the soil is given as;

Work done = force x distance he moved the soil

W = F x d

d = W / F

d = (6100) / (185)

d = 32.97 m

Therefore, the distance he moved the soil is 32.97 m.
