Question

2. Calculate the work done by an engine if it applies a 600 N force to move a piston over a

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 300 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

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

$W=F*d$

The force is 600 Newtons.

The distance is 0.5 meters.

$F= 600 \ N$

$d= 0.5 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$W=600 \ N * 0.5 \ m$

Multiply.

$W=300 \ N*m$

A joule is the amount of work done when a force of 1 Newton moves the object 1 meter.

Therefore, 1 N*m is equal to 1 Joule. Our answer of 300 N*m is equal to 300 Joules.

$W= 300 \ J$

300 Joules of work is done by the engine.
