Question

You used 100 N of force to push a shopping cart 5m down the aisle in the grocery store. How much work did you do? *

Answer 1

Given :-

• Force (F) = 100 N
• Displacement (D) = 5 m

To Find :-

Work done

Solution :-

As we know that Work done is the product of Force and displacement

`\tt \: w = force \: * displacement`

`\tt \: w = 100 * 5`

`\tt \: w = 500 \: j`

Therefore, Work done is 500 Joule

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 500 \ Joules}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Work can be found by multiplying the force by the distance.

`W=F*d`

The force is 100 Newtons and the distance is 5 meters. Therefore,

`F= 100 \ N \\d= 5 \ m`

We can substitute the values into the formula.

`W= 100 \ N * 5 \ m`

Multiply.

`W= 500 \ N*m`

• 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule.
• Thus, our answer of 500 Newton meters is equal to 500 Joules.

`W= 500 \ J`

You did 500 Joules of work to push a shopping cart 5 meters with a force of 100 Newtons.
