box with 100 newtons of force for 15 meters?​

Answer 1

Pushing a box with 100 newtons of force for 15 meters does more work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The force for pushing a box for 5 meters, f = 200 N

The force for pushing a box for 15 meters, f = 100 N

The work done on a box is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force 'F' applied and the magnitude of displacement 'S' caused on the box.

The formula for work is

W = F · S joules

Substituting the above equation for f

W = 200 N x 5 m

= 1000 J

Substituting the for F

W = 100 N x 15 m

= 1500 J

Hence, from the above results pushing a box with 100 newtons of force for 15 meters does more work.
