Question

If you do 200 joules of work using a force of 50 Newton’s , over what distance was the force applied

Answer 1

Hello!

We have the following data:

Suppose we treat a constant force (cos 0º = 1)
W (work) = 200 Joules (1N x m)
F (Strength) = 50 N
d (distance) =? (in meters)

We have the following formula of the work of a force:]


`W = F*d*cos \alpha`

Solving:


`W = F*d*cos \alpha`


`200 = 50 * d * cos\:0\º`


`200 = 50 * d * 1`


`200 = 50d`


`50d = 200`


`d = (200)/(50)`


`\boxed{\boxed{d = 4\:m}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark`
