Question

A mother pushes a baby stroller 50 meters by applying 10 newtons of force. How much work was done?

5 joules
40 joules
60 joules
500 joules

Answer 1

Work=force*distance
J=m*n
500 joules

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, 500 joules

Solution :

Work done : Work done is defined as the applied force is caused by the displacement of an object.

Formula used for work done is :

`W=F* d`

where,

W = work done = ?

F = applied force = 10 N

d = displacement = 50 m

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the work done.

`W=(10N)* (50m)`

`W=500J`

Therefore, the work done was, 500 joules
