Question

Barry has a 10 kg object. He exerts a horizontal force which causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s2, moving it a distance of 20 m, horizontally. Calculate the work done by the force.

Answer 1

Work done by the force is 1000 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation ship between the variables is as follows:

(Work W) = (Force F) x (Displacement d) = (Mass m) x (Accelleration a) x (Displacement d)

so:

`W = m\cdot a\cdot d = 10 kg \cdot 5 (m)/(s^2) \cdot 20 m = 1000 J`
