Question

A body initially at rest is accelerated at the rate of 0.2m/s for 5 seconds under contant force of 50 N. Calculate the workdone on the body

​

Answer 1

the correct answer is 125 joule

Answer 2

work = force*displacement

displacement = (initial velocity)*(time) + (1/2)*(acceleration)*(time)^2

displacement = 0(5) + (1/2)(0.2)(5)^2

displacement = 2.5 m

Since force*displacement = work:

50(2.5) = 125 J
