Question

If the box weighs 40 newtons and is lifted a distance of 2 meters, how much work is done on the box?

Answer 1

The work done on the box is 80 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight of box = 40 N

Distance = 2 meter

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

`W=F* x`

`W=mg* x`

Where, x = distance

mg = weight

Put the value into the formula

`W=40*2`

`W= 80\ Nm`

`W=80\ J`

Hence, The work done on the box is 80 J.
