A force of 50 N moves a box 10 m in the direction of the force. How much work is done?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 500 J
- Step 1: Work done = force distance.
- Step 2: J.
Answer
500 J.
Why not the others: 5 J: force is divided by distance. 60 J: the numbers are added. 5000 J: an extra factor of 10 is included.
