Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Work is the energy transferred to or from an object when force is applied to cause displacement. It is the product of force and displacement.
The displacement (s) is 8 meters and the work (W) is 1,040 Joules. Substitute these values into the formula.
First, let's convert the units. This will make the question easier later on. 1 Joule is equal to 1 Newton meter, so the 1040 J of work equal 1040 N*m.
Since we are solving for the force (F), we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 8 meters and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 8 m.
The meters cancel out, hence our earlier unit conversion.
A force of 130 Newtons is used.
