Question

Natalia lifts a bag of groceries 0.50 m by exerting a force of 36 N. How much work did she do on the bag

Answer 1

I believe its 18 Joules

Answer 2

Work done, W = 18 J

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the bag, F = 36 N

Distance covered by the bag, x = 0.5 m

We need to find the work done by the bag. The product of force and displacement covered is called the work done by the object. It is given by :

`W=F* x`

`W=36\ N* 0.5\ m`

W = 18 J

So, the work done on the bag is 18 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
