Question

A bag of cement is pulled along a smooth horizontal floor with a horizontal force of 1000N. If work done is 100,000J, calculate the distance through which the bag is pulled. Which of the following options is the correct distance?

A) 10 m
B) 100 m
C) 1000 m
D) 10,000 m

Answer 1

The correct distance through which the bag is pulled is 100 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance through which the bag is pulled, we can use the formula:

Work done = Force × Distance

Given that the work done is 100,000J and the force is 1000N, we can rearrange the formula to solve for distance:

Distance = Work done ÷ Force

Substituting the given values:

Distance = 100,000J ÷ 1000N = 100m

Therefore, the correct distance is 100 m (Option B).
