Question

. Anne is pushing a wheelbarrow filled with mulch to place in her garden. She is pushing the wheelbarrow with a force of 70 N at an angle of 50° with the horizontal. How much work in joules is Anne doing when she pushes the wheelbarrow 25 meters?

Answer 1

Answer:

When Anne pushes the wheelbarrow 25 meters the work done is 1120 joules

Solution:

We know $\text { Work }(\mathrm{W})=\text { Force }(\mathrm{F})\times\text { Distance (D) }$

Anne is pushing the wheelbarrow with a force of 70 N at an angle of $50^{\circ}$ with the horizontal

So the force of Anne will be $F=70 \cos 50^{\circ}=(70 \times 0.64)=44.8 \mathrm{N}$

She pushes the wheelbarrow 25 meter, So D = 25 meters

So, the $work,F\times D=(44.8 \times 25)=1120 \text { Joules }$

Anne has done total 1120 joules work.
