The same 600 N person lifts his 100 N carry-on bag upward a distance of 1.0 m. They travel another

10 m by riding on the "people mover." How much work was done in this situation?

Answer:

100J

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of work done here is 100J

Work done is the force applied along a particular distance.

In this problem;

Weight of the object = 100N

Weight of the person = 600N

Distance of raise = 1m

Distance traveled = 10m

Since work done is the force applied along a specific distance;

Work done = force x distance = 100 x 1 = 100J
