Question

Sold the equation by using the work=force(distance) equation

A person applies 110J to lift the box 5 meters off he ground. How much force was required by the person?

22N
50N
12N
25N

Answer 1

To find the force required by the person to lift the box, we can use the work equation:

\[
\text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance}
\]

Rearranging the equation to solve for force gives us:

\[
\text{Force} = \frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Distance}}
\]

In this case, we have:

- Work = 110 J
- Distance = 5 m

Now, we can substitute the values into the equation:

\[
\text{Force} = \frac{110 \, \text{J}}{5 \, \text{m}} = 22 \, \text{N}
\]

So, the force required by the person is **22 N**.
