Question

If Luke pushes his sister in a wagon down the driveway that is 14 meters long and it takes 22 Newtons of force, how much work did he do? 20 points !!

Answer 1

Answer:

$308 N\cdot m$ or 308 J

Explanation:

Work in physics is done when an object is moved due to an applied force. But you need to remember that work is only done if there is movement parallel to the direction of the force applied.

Work can be computed with the formula:

W=Fd

Where:

F = Force

d= distance

So your problem gives you:

F = 22 N (Newtos)

d = 14 m (meters)

All you need to do is plug in the values and multiply:

W = F x d

W = 22N x 14m

W = 308 N-m or 308 J (Joules)
