Question

Which equation would you use to solve the following problem? An object is moved 29 meters with a force of 289 N. What is the work done

Answer 1

Work done can be calculated from force and distance the object moves.

The equation relating work done, force and distance is,

$Work (Joules) = Force (Newton) * Distance (m)$

Given the force acting on the object = 289 N

Distance the object moves = 29 m

Calculating the work done from force and distance:

Work = Force * Distance

= 289 N * 29 m

= 8381 J

= $8381 J * \frac{1 kJ}{1000 J} = 8.381 kJ$
