Question

3. A large passenger ship required a force of 1,600,000 N to move 2000 m. How much work is done on the ship?​

Answer 1

3,200,000,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is defined as the amount of energy transferred as an object is moved a certain distance with a certain force. Mathematically, we express this with the equation

`W=Fs`

where W is work (measured in joules), F is the force applied (in Newtons), and s is the distance, also called the displacement (in meters).

Here, we have F = 1,600,000 N and s = 2000 m, so our work will be

`W=1.600.000(2.000)=3.200.000.000` J
