Question

A flight attendant pulls a flight bag a distance of 174 m along a level airport floor at a constant velocity. A 16 N force is exerted on the bag at an angle of 62 degrees above the horizontal. How much work is done on the flight bag?

Answer 1

1307 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done on the flight bag can be calculated as

W = Fdcosθ

Where F is the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle.

Replacing F = 16N, d = 174 m, and θ = 62, we get:

W = (16N)(174 m)(cos62)

W = 1307 J

Therefore, the work done on the flight bag was 1307 J
