Question

Samuel applies a horizontal force of 35.0 N to a sleigh over a distance of 1.50 m along a level surface. Calculate the work done on the sleigh by samuel. show your work.

Answer 1

52.5 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done (W) is the product of the force (F) applied on a body and the distance (s) moved in the direction of the force.

i.e W = F × s

It is a scalar quantity and measured in Joules (J).

Given that: F = 35.0 N and s = 1.50 m, then;

W = F × s

W = 35.0 × 1.5

= 52.5 J

Therefore, the work done on the sleigh by Samuel is 52.5 J.
