Question

It takes 40 J of energy to push a large box 4m across a floor. Assuming the push is the same direction as the movement, what is the magnitude of the force of the box?

Answer 1

10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

F=40j/4m

F=10N

Answer 2

10 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is the dot product of the force magnitude with distance and cosine of the angle betweenthem.

Equation to use: W=|F|*|d|*cosθ

Your unknown is the force F; You have one equation, oneunknown.

40j=(F)*(4m)*cos(0)

F=40j/4m

F=10N
