Question

What amount of work is done when a force of 50 N is used to drag an object a distance of 20 meters across a floor?

Answer 1

Work done, W = 1000 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting to frag an object, F = 50 N

It covers a distance of 20 meters, d = 20 m

Work done is given by the product of force and distance travelled by the object. Mathematically, it is given by :

`W=F* d`

`W=50\ N* 20\ m`

W = 1000 J

So, the work done when the object is dragged is 1000 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

Work = force * displacement

= 50 N * 20 Meter

=1000 Newton meter = 1000 joule .
