Question

A student moves a box across the floor by exerting 56.7 N of force and doing 195 J of

work on the box. How far does the student move the box?
A.3.4 m
B. 11,056 m
C.138 m
D.0.29 m

Answer 1

A. 3.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 56.7N

Workdone = 195J

To find the distance

Workdone is given by the formula;

`Workdone = force * distance`

Making "distance" the subject of formula, we have;

`Distance = \frac {workdone}{force}`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Distance = \frac {195}{56.7}`

Distance = 3.4 meters.
