Question

A man uses a force of 20 N to push a concrete block. How far will the block move if he does 560 J of work?

A. 14 meters
B. 16 meters
C. 18 meters
D. 20 meters

Answer 1

The work done (W) can be calculated using the formula: W = F · d. The distance moved if he does 560 J of work uses a force of 20 N to push a concrete block is 28 meters. The correct answer is not among the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done (W) can be calculated using the formula:

W = F · d

where:

- W is the work done (in joules),

- F is the force applied (in newtons),

- d is the distance moved (in meters).

Rearranging the formula to solve for distance (d), we get:

d =
`(W)/(F)`

Given that W = 560 J and F = 20 N, we can plug in these values:

d =
`(560)/(20)`

d = 28 meters

Therefore, the correct answer is not among the provided options. The correct distance moved is 28 meters.
