Question

If the work done to move a toy car by a force of 20N is 60J how far did the car move?​

Answer 1

Answer: Distance = 60 J / 20 N = 3 meters. So the car moved a distance of 3 meters.

Explanation: To determine how far the car moved, you need to know how long the force was applied. The equation for work is work = force * distance, so if you know the force and the work, you can solve for the distance. In this case, you know that the force applied was 20 N and the work done was 60 J, so you can calculate the distance by rearranging the equation to solve for distance: distance = work/force. Plugging in the values, you get distance = 60 J / 20 N = 3 meters. So the car moved a distance of 3 meters.

Answer 2

Important Formulas:

`w=Fd`

work(measured in joules) = force(measured in newtons) * distance(measured in meters)

__________________________________________________________

Given:

`w=60J`

`F=20N`

`d=?`

__________________________________________________________

Rearranging formula to make distance the subject:

`w=Fd`

`(w)/(F) =(Fd)/(F)`

`d=(w)/(F)`

__________________________________________________________

Finding distance:

`d=(w)/(F)`

`d=(60)/(20)`

__________________________________________________________

`\fbox{d = 3 meters}`
