Question

Marissa uses a cart to haul flowers at her job with a landscaper. She pushes a 12-kilogram cart a distance of 6 meters with a force of 25 Newtons. How much work does she do?

Answer 1

150J

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

M (mass) = 12Kg

F (force) = 25N

d (distance) = 6m

w (work) =?

Work is defined as the product of force and distance moved in in the direction of the force. It is measured in joules and can be represented mathematically as:

work = force x distance

w = F x d

w = 25 x 6

w = 150J

Therefore, 150J of work is done

Answer 2

150 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work-done: This can be defined as the product of force and distance moved along the direction of the force.

The S.I unit of work is Joules(J).

From the question,

W = F×d............. Equation 1

Where W = work done, F = force, d = distance.

Given: F = 25 N, d = 6 m

Substitute into equation 1

W = 25×6

W = 150 J.

Hence the work done by Marissa = 150 J
