Question

If 68 Joules were necessary to move a crate with 4N of force applied, how far was the crate moved

Answer 1

Answer:

17 m

Explanation:

Work done is the product of force and perpendicular distance moved, therefore, expressed as

W=Fd

Where F represent the applied force, d is perpendicular distance and W is work done.

Making d the subject of the formula then

$d=\frac {W}{F}$

Substituting 68 J for work and 4 N for force then

$d=\frac {68}{4}=17 m$

Therefore, the distance is equivalent to 17 m
