Answer:

The work done is 360 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 50 kg

Distance =3 m

We need to calculate the work done

The work done is equal to the product of force and displacement.

Using formula of work done

W = F\cdot d

W = Fd\cos\theta

Where, F = force

D = distance

θ = Angle between force and displacement

Put the value into the formula

W=120\times3\cos0^{\circ}

W=360\ J

Hence, The work done is 360 J.

1. Jen is stepping out of a boat on to a dock. She has one foot on the dock and one foot in
Gemiola [76]

you tend to push off with the foot still on the boat.

Newtons 3rd law of motion hold that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, the amount of force you use on your back foot to push yourself onto the dock, has an equal end opposite amount of force going the other way from your sole of your foot, which pushes the boat the other way.

The same principle applies when you fire a cannon - in the pirate films, you see the body of the cannon forced back as it is fired.

Take it one step further, Henry VIII flagship, “Mary Rose fired all its cannons together one day in a broad side, the opposite force rolled the ship over and sank it.

For a given force, if the mass of the object is doubled, its acceleration becomes ??
nekit [7.7K]

Force = Mass . Accelaration

f=ma

force is directly proportional to mass and accelaration

therefore when mass of the object is doubled, the accelaration would be halved

since

a=f/m
