Question

A bird uses 10 N of force to pull a worm out of the ground a distance of 3 inches. How much work did the bird do?

Answer 1

Answer:

The work done by the bird is 0.762 J

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the bird, f = 10 N

distance the bird moved the worm, d = 3 inches = 0.0762 m

The work done by the bird is given by;

W = F x d

where;

W is the work done by the bird

d is the distance the bird moved the load

Substitute the given values and estimate the work done by the bird;

W = 10 x 0.0762

W = 0.762 J

Therefore, the work done by the bird is 0.762 J
