Question

A shopping cart is pushed with 35 N of force to the right. It moved to the right 4m. What was the work done to the grocery cart?

Answer 1

Work is the amount of force acted upon over a distance. This can be computed by getting the product of force and distance traveled.

W = Fd
Where:
W = work (J)
F = Force (N)
d = distance (m)

So your problem gives you what you need to solve for work.

F = 35N
d = 4m

All you need to do is put that into the equation and solve for Work.

W = Fd
= (35N)(4m)
= 140 N.m or 140 J
