A force of 120 N moves an object 3 m in the direction of the force. How much work is done?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 360 J
- Step 1: Work = force x distance.
- Step 2: 120 x 3 = 360 J.
Answer
360 J.
Why not the others: 40 J: force was divided by distance. 123 J: force and distance were added. 720 J: the work was doubled.
