Question

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0°. What is the value of work being done on the object?

Answer 1

The value of work being done on the object is 958J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is equal to force multiply by distance, but when the angle is between the force and distance work done=Force (cos theta) × distance

Work done = Force(cos theta) × distance

Work done = 25N(cos 40.0°) × 50m

Work done = 25N(0.7660) × 50m

Work done = 19.15N × 50m

Work done = 957.5J = 958J

Therefore the value of work being done on the object is 958J.
