Question

A 500.0 kg elevator is pulled upward with a constant force of 5500.0 N for a distance of 50.0 m. What is the work done by the 5500.0 N force on the elevator?
Group of answer choices

a. -2.45 x 105 J

b. -5.20 x 105 J

c. 2.75 x 105 J

d. 3.00 x 104 J

Answer 1

C. The work done by the 5500.0 N force on the elevator is 275,000 J.

Work done by the applied force

The work done by the 5500.0 N force on the elevator is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

where;

• F is the applied force
• d is the displacement

W = 5500 x 50

W = 275,000 J

Thus, the work done by the 5500.0 N force on the elevator is 275,000 J.
