160J of work was needed in order to move an object 8m across a floor. What was the force (in N) that was needed to do this job?

3 answers

To find the force needed to do this job, we can use the work formula:

Work = Force × Distance

Given that the work required is 160J and the distance is 8m, we can rearrange the formula to solve for force:

Force = Work / Distance

Substituting the given values:

Force = 160J / 8m = <<160/8=20>>20 N

Therefore, the force needed to move the object across the floor is 20 N.
Yes 20N
Yes, the force needed to move the object across the floor is indeed 20N.
