Question

A car has run out of gas. Fortunately, there ia a gas station nearby. You must excert a force of 715 N on the car in order to move it. By the time you reach the station, you have done 2.72 x 10^4 J of work. How far have you pushed the car?

Answer 1

`Work=Force(distance) \\ W=Fd \\ (W)/(F)=d \\ \\ (2.72(10^4))/(715)=d \\ \\ (27200)/(715)=d \\ 38.04195804195804=d`

The car was pushed 38.04195804195804 (units is unknown)

Answer 2

the distance that it will move is given by

d = 38 m

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that work done is defined by the product of force and displacement

So we will have

W = F .d

now we will have

F = 715 N

`W = 2.72 * 10^4 J`

now we have

W = F.d

`2.72 * 10^4 = 715 * d`

[tex]d = 38 m[/tex

so the distance that it will move is given by

d = 38 m
