Question

A weight force of 10 N force acts on an object while the object moves 20m along horizontal ground. How much work is done by the weight force on the object? a) 0.5 J b) 2 J c) 10 J d) zero e) 200 J I already know it's not 200 J because I got the question wrong. Please show work!

Answer 1

e) 200 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done by a force on an object is the energy required for a force to move that object over a distance. It can be calculated using the formula:

W = F × d

Where; W = work done

F = force applied

d = distance

According to this question, F = 10N, d = 20m

W = 10 × 20

W = 200 J or N/m
