Question

A man pushes a trolley with a horizontal force of 120 N. What is the distance travelled

by the trolley if the work done by the man on the trolley is 360 J?
a. 0.33 m
c. 4.32 m
b. 3 m
d. 6 m

Answer 1

b. 3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the distance travelled is shown below:

As we know that

Work done = Horizontal Force × distance travelled

360 J = 120 N × discount travelled

So, the distance travelled is

= 360 J ÷ 120 N

= 3 m

hence, the correct option is b. 3 m
