Question

DUE BY MIDNIGHT

a person pushes a large box across a level floor by applying a horizontal force of 200 N. if the person pushes the box a distance of 5 meters in 10 seconds how much work does the person do on the box

Answer 1

Option D. 1000 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) applied = 200 N

Distance (s) = 5 m

Time (t) = 10 s

Workdone (Wd) =?

Workdone (Wd) is simply defined as the product of force (F) and distance (s) moved in the direction of the force. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Wd = F × s

With the above formula, we can calculate the Workdone as illustrated below:

Force (F) applied = 200 N

Distance (s) = 5 m

Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 200 × 5

Wd = 1000 J

Thus, the Workdone is 1000 J
