Question

PLEASEEE HELPPP!!!!

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor
a distance of 8.1 m. The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is
230 N. How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator?

Answer 1

Answer: The work is 1863 N*m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define work as:

W = F*d

Where F is the force that the mover needs to apply to the refrigerator, and d is the distance that the refrigerator is moved.

To move the refrigerator, the minimal force that the mover needs to do is exactly the friction force (In this case, the refrigerator will move with constant speed).

Then we will have:

F = 230 N

and the distance is 8.1 meters, then the work will be:

W = 230N*8.1 m = 1863 N*m
