Question

a child pulls on a string that is attached to a car. if the child does 80.2 J of work while pulling the car 25.0 m, with what force is the child pulling?

Answer 1

Answer:

F = 3.20 N

Explanation:

Given:

Work done by child = 80.2 j

Distance that the car moves = 25.0 m

We need to find the force acting on the car.

Solution:

Using work done formula as.

$W = F\times d$

Where:

W = Work done by any object.

F = Force (push or pull)

d = distance that the object moves.

Substitute $W = 80.2\ J\ and\ d =25.0\ m$ in work done formula.

$80.2 = F\times 25$

$F=\frac{80.2}{25}$

F = 3.20 N

Therefore, force acting on the car F = 3.20 N
