Question

If you lift a 200 N package to a height of 2 meters in 10 seconds, how much work did you do?

A) 400 J (joules)
B) 2,000 J (joules)
C) 20,000 J (joules)
D) 100 J (joules)

Answer 1

The work done in lifting the package is 400 J (joules).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the work done in lifting a package, we can use the formula:

Work = Force × Distance

Given:

• Force = 200 N
• Distance = 2 m

Plugging in the values, we get:

Work = 200 N × 2 m = 400 J

Therefore, the amount of work done in lifting the package is 400 J (joules), so option A is the correct answer.
