You are pushing a 60 kg block of ice across the ground. You exert a constant force of 9 N on the block of ice. You let go after
1 answer:
Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m
Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:
W = F.d.cosθ
F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.
For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:
W = F.d.cos(0)
W = F.d
To determine d:
d =
d =
d = 0.33 m
The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.
