Answer:
b) 5 J
Explanation:
Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)
To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:
Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j
The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:
Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J
Answer:
Net pull = 110 N to the left
Explanation:
Group the different pulls according to the direction (right or left)
2 pull 196 N each to the right
4 pull 98 N each to the left
5 pull 62 N each to the left
3 pull 150 N each to the right
1 pull 250 N to the left
Since positive direction is to the right, the pulls to the left will have a minus (-)
The resulting force is negative, meaning the direction is to the left
