To find the force, we need to rearrange the equation for work:
Work = Force x Distance
Since the work done is given as 50 Joules and the distance is given as 5 meters, we can substitute these values into the equation:
50 Joules = Force x 5 meters
To solve for the force, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 meters:
Force = 50 Joules / 5 meters
This simplifies to:
Force = 10 Newtons
Therefore, Meghan used 10 Newtons of force to carry her shopping bags to the car. The answer is option a) 10 Newtons.
