Question

You used 100 N of force to push a shopping cart 5m down the aisle in the grocery store. How much work did you do? *

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 500 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

Work can be found by multiplying the force by the distance.

$W=F*d$

The force is 100 Newtons and the distance is 5 meters. Therefore,

$F= 100 \ N \\d= 5 \ m$

We can substitute the values into the formula.

$W= 100 \ N * 5 \ m$

Multiply.

$W= 500 \ N*m$

• 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule.
• Thus, our answer of 500 Newton meters is equal to 500 Joules.

$W= 500 \ J$

You did 500 Joules of work to push a shopping cart 5 meters with a force of 100 Newtons.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

• Force (F) = 100 N
• Displacement (D) = 5 m

To Find :-

Work done

Solution :-

As we know that Work done is the product of Force and displacement

$\tt \: w = force \: \times displacement$

$\tt \: w = 100 \times 5$

$\tt \: w = 500 \: j$

Therefore, Work done is 500 Joule
