Question

An eagle carries a fish up 50 m into the sky using 90 N of force. How much work did the eagle do on the fish? (Work: W = Fd)

40 J
59 J
140 J
4500 J

Answer 1

Work: W = Fd. 50(distance) multiplied by 90(force) would equal 4500 J or, answer D

Answer 2

Answer: 4500 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by the eagle is given by the product between the force applied and the distance covered:

`W=Fd`

where

F=90 N is the force applied

d=50 m is the distance covered

Substituting these data into the formula, we find the work done

`W=Fd=(90 N)(50 m)=4,500 J`
