Luke pulls a sled using a force of 65 N for a distance of 25 m across level ground. The rope Luke pulls forms an angle of 25° with the ground. About how much work does Luke do on the sled? 250 J 690 J 1,500 J 1,600 J

Answer: 1,500 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by Luke is given by:


W=Fdcos \theta

where

F = 65 N is the force applied by Luke

d = 25 m is the displacement of the sled


\theta=25^(\circ) is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find


W=(65 N)(25 m)(cos 25^(\circ))=1473 J

So, approximately 1500 J.
