Question

Sally who weighs 450 N, stands on a skate board while roger pushes it forward 13.0 m at constant velocity on a level straight street. He applies a constant 100 N force.

Work done on the skateboard


a. Rodger Work= 0J


b. Rodger work= 1300J


c. sally work= 1300J


d. sally work= 5850J


e. rodger work= 5850J

Answer 1

b. Rodger work = 1300 J

Step-by-step explanation:

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

From the question,

Work is done by Rodger using a force of 100 N in pushing the skateboard through a distance of 13.0 m.

W = F×d............. Equation 1

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

Given: F = 100 N, d = 13 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = 100(13)

W = 1300 J.

Hence the right option is b. Rodger work = 1300 J
