Question

If a 100J of work was done, when a force of 12.5N acts, what was the distance moved by the force?

Answer 1

The distance moved by a force is 8 m

Answer 2

Answer:

If a 100J of work was done, when a force of 12.5N acts, then the distance moved by the force is 8 m.

Explanation:

• The magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance moved by the object in the direction of the applied force equals work done on an object.
• The amount of work done by a body moving in a circular path is zero.

Given: W = Work = 100J

Force = F = 12.5N

Find the distance moved by the force

Distance Moved S = Displacement

Since, work done = Force × Distance moved

100 = 12.5 × S

S = (100/12.5)

S =  8m

So, the distance moved by the force 8m.
