Question

In which scenario is the greatest amount of work done on a wagon?

a force of 55 N moves i‎t 8m

a force of 60 N moves i‎t 6m

a force of 50 N moves i‎t 5m

a force of 40 N moves i‎t 10m

Answer 1

55 N moves it 8m is the correct answer, because if you multiply 55 time 8 you get 440 and that is the greatest number.

Answer 2

a force of 55 N moves i‎t 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by each force is given by:

`W=Fd`

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

Let's apply this formula to calculate the work done by each force:

1)
`W=(55 N)(8 m)=440 J`

2)
`W=(60 N)(6 m)=360 J`

3)
`W=(50 N)(5 m)=250 J`

4)
`W=(40 N)(10 m)=400 J`

So, the scenario with the greatest amount of work done is the first scenarion.
