Question

A person is hauling their taco stand and it takes 3,500 Joules of work to stop the taco stand. What force was exerted on the taco stand if it took 1.5 meters to stop the motion?

Answer 1

Given the work done, the force exerted on the taco stand through the given distance is 2.3 × 10³ Newtons.

What is Work done?

Work done is simply defined as the energy transfer that takes place when an object is either pushed or pulled over a certain distance by an external force. It is expressed as;

W = f × d

Where f is force applied and d is distance travelled.

Given that;

• Work done W = 3500J = 3500kgm²/s²
• Distance covered d = 1.5m
• Force applied F = ?

W = f × d

3500kgm²/s² = f × 1.5m

f = 3500kgm²/s² ÷ 1.5m

f = 2.3 × 10³ kgm/s²

f = 2.3 × 10³ N

Given the work done, the force exerted on the taco stand through the given distance is 2.3 × 10³ Newtons.
