Question

A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed parallel to the ground. Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as the shopper moves along a 50.0 m length of aisle.

Answer 1

W = 1750 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A shopper in a supermarket pushes a cart with a force of 35 N directed parallel to the ground.

We need to find the work done by the shopper on the cart as the shopper moves along a 50.0 m length.

Let W is the work done. As the force is parallel to the ground, angle between force and distance is 0 degrees.

W = Fd

W = 35 N × 50 m

= 1750 N

So, the work done by the shopper on the cart is 1750 N.
