Question

Calculate how much work you need to move a 280 N shed to a platform 5 m above.

A 2,800 J
B. 1,400 J*
C. 56 J

Answer 1

Work is done when a motion resulted from the force being done by an object. The amount of work done is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled. It is calculated as follows:

Work = Force x distance = 280 N x 5 m = 1400 J.
