mass 2Kg
Distance 5 meters
On horizontal plane
acceleration 3 m/s
What is the work?
Accepted Solution
A:
To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:
Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d) x cos(θ)
In this case, the force (F) can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion:
F = m * a
Where:
m = mass = 2 kg
a = acceleration = 3 m/s²
F = 2 kg * 3 m/s² = 6 N
Now, you have the force (F) and the distance (d) is given as 5 meters. However, you haven't provided the angle (θ) between the direction of force and the direction of motion. If the force is applied in the same direction as the motion, then θ = 0 degrees, and cos(0) = 1.
So, you can calculate the work as:
W = 6 N * 5 m * cos(0) = 6 N * 5 m * 1 = 30 Joules (J)
Therefore, the work done is 30 Joules.
