Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e   Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

     = 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).

dolphi86 [110]
The bicycle is 92% efficient, meaning 92% of energy input is converted to useful (in this case kinetic) energy. Just find 92% (=0.92) of the given input. So:
100*0.92 = 92J
