Question

Geronimo wants to move an object 12 meters. Calculate the net work done by the object with an applied force of 150 N and a friction force of 37 N.

Answer 1

1476 J

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Net Work done = Net force× distance moved by net force.

W' = (F-F')×d................... Equation 1

Where W' = Net work done, F = force applied, F' = Frictional force, d = distance moved.

Given: F = 150 N, F' = 37 N, d = 12 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = (150-37)×12

W' = 123×12

W' = 1476 J.

hence the Net Work done by the object is 1476 J
