Question

Ann and Carol each lift the timber with a force of 80 kg/m/s2. If they lift the timber a distance of 1.25 meters, how much work is each woman doing?

Question 1 options:

64.00 J


78.75 J


81.25 J


100.00 J

Answer 1

Work is defined energy transferred from one to another.
The formula for work done is work done = force x distance

So in our problem, force is equal to 80 kg/ m / s^2 and distance is equal to 1.25 meters. So plugging in our values will give us:

work done = 80 kg/ m/ s^2 * 1.25 m
= 100.00 J is the answer.
