Answer:

1500Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done, denoted by W, can be calculated using the formula:

Work done (W) = force (F) × distance covered (d)

According to the information in this question, Mary pushes her cart across the floor with a force (F) of 150N for a distance (d) of 10m.

Hence, work done (W) by the cart is:

W = 150N × 10m

W = 1500 Newton.metre (N.m) or Joules (J).
