Answer:
5) Displacement = +3.125 m
Displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.
6) Force = -53.89 N
Force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.
Explanation:
5) We are given;
Force; F = 160 N.
Workdone; W = +500 J
Now, formula for workdone is;
W = Force × displacement
Thus, displacement = Work/force
Displacement = 500/160
Displacement = +3.125 m
Thus, displacement is in the same direction as the force vector.
6) We are given;
Displacement; d = 18 m.
Workdone; W = -970 J
Like in the first answer above,
Workdone = Force × Displacement
Thus;
Force = Workdone/Displacement
Force = -970/18
Force = -53.89 N
Since force is negative and displacement is positive, it means force is in an opposite direction relative to the displacement.
