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:
60,000m
Explanation:
Convert km/h to m/s by multiplying with 1000/3600.
Convert hours to seconds by multiplying with 3600.
Because displacement is a vector quantity and deals with the shortest distance between points, simply plug it into the equation s=vt.
