Question

The forklift exerts a 300.0 N force on the box and moves it 15.0 m forward to the stack.How much work does the forklift do against the force of gravity?options are4.50×10^3 J1.50×10^3 J500 J0.00 J

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the work that a forklift exerts on a box. To do that we will use the following equation:

`W=F\mathrm{}d`

Where "W" is the work, "F" is the force and "d" is the distance that the object is moved by the force "F". Replacing the values we get:

`W=(300N)(15m)`

Solving the operation we get:

`W=4500J`

This can be written in scientific notation as:

`W=4.5*10^3J`
