Answer:
<h2>4/3 Joules </h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Work is said to be done when force applied to an object causes the object to move through a distance.
Work done = Force * perpendicular distance.
Given Force F = xy i + (y-x) j and a straight line (-1, -2) to (1, 2)
First we need to get the equation of the straight line given.
Given the slope intercept form y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the intercept
m = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
m = 2-(-2)/1-(-1)
m = 4/2
m = 2
To get the slope we will substtutte any f the point and the slope into the formula y = mx+c
Using the point (1,2)
2 = 2+c
c = 0
y = 2x
Substituting y = 2x into the value of the force F = xy i + (y-x) j we will have;
F = x(2x) i + (2x - x) j
Using the coordinate (1, 2) as the value of s
