True is the correct anwser
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons
BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N
If the applied force is in the same direction as the object's displacement, the work done on the object is:
W = Fd
W = work, F = force, d = displacement
Given values:
F = 45N
d = 12m
Plug in and solve for W:
W = 45(12)
W = 540J
Friction? For example, like when a car's tires skid on rough concrete.
