Question 22
Darla pushed a cart with 50 newtons of force 100 meters away from her house. How much work, measured in joules (J), did she do to move the cart?

a
2 J
b
50 J
c
150 J
d
5000 J

Answer 1

To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:

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

Where:
- Work is measured in joules (J)
- Force is measured in newtons (N)
- Distance is measured in meters (m)

Given:
- Force = 50 N
- Distance = 100 m

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Work} = 50 \, \text{N} \times 100 \, \text{m} = 5000 \, \text{J} \]

So, the amount of work Darla did is **5000 joules (J)**.

The correct answer is **d) 5000 J**.
