Question

A force does +190 j of work when it acts on a moving object and its direction is in the same direction as the object's displacement. how much work does this force do when the angle between it and the object's displacement is 56°? (assume the displacement is the same.)

Answer 1

To find the amount of work done by a force acting on a moving object, we can use this simple equation: W = F * d * cos(theta) W is Work F is the force d is the distance the object moves theta is the angle between the force vector and the direction of motion We know that (F * d) is 190 joules. We can find the work done when the angle is 56°. W = F * d * cos(theta) W = (190 J) * cos(56°) W = 106 J At an angle of 56°, the work done by the force is 106 joules.
