To calculate the work done (W) by the baker on the cart, we use the formula:
\[ W = F \times d \]
where:
- \( W \) is the work done,
- \( F \) is the force applied (in newtons),
- \( d \) is the distance over which the force is applied (in meters).
Given:
- \( F = 20.0 \, \text{N} \)
- \( d = 4.0 \, \text{m} \)
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
\[ W = 20.0 \, \text{N} \times 4.0 \, \text{m} = 80.0 \]
So, the work done by the baker on the cart is **80.0**.
\[ W = F \times d \]
where:
- \( W \) is the work done,
- \( F \) is the force applied (in newtons),
- \( d \) is the distance over which the force is applied (in meters).
Given:
- \( F = 20.0 \, \text{N} \)
- \( d = 4.0 \, \text{m} \)
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
\[ W = 20.0 \, \text{N} \times 4.0 \, \text{m} = 80.0 \]
So, the work done by the baker on the cart is **80.0**.
