The length of the track itself is 500m. The vehicles (each of mass 15kg) are dragged

along the track back to the top of the ride in stacks of 4. The force required to drag
them at constant speed is 200N
Use an equation from page 2 to calculate the total work done in dragging the stack
back to the start of the ride

Answer:

W = 100000 J = 100 KJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will use the most basic and general formula of work, which is as follows:


W = Fd

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Required = 200 N

d = Length of Track = 500 m

Therefore,


W = (200\ N)(500\ m)\\

W = 100000 J = 100 KJ
