Question

If Luke pushes his sister in a wagon down the driveway that is 14 meters long and it takes 22 Newton’s of force how much work did he do?

Answer 1

Answer:

308 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force applied parallel to a displacement is given by:

$W=Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the applied force

d is the displacement

In this problem, we have

F = 22 N is the force applied

d = 14 m is the displacement of the wagon

Therefore, assuming that the force is parallel to the displacement, the work done is

$W=Fd=(22 N)(14 m)=308 J$
