Question

Kendall does 30 Newton-meters of work pushing her sofa halfway across the living room. Her living room is 10 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

3 Newtons

Explanation:

The work done by Kendall is given by:

$W=Fd$

where

F is the force

d is the displacement of the sofa

In this problem, we know

W = 30 Nm = 30 J

d = 10 m

So we can solve the formula for F to find the force used by Kendal:

$F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{30 J}{10 m}=3 N$
