Question

Angela uses a force of 25 Newtons to lift her grocery bag while doing 50 Joules of work. How far did she lift the grocery bags?

A. 0.5 M
B. 2 M
C. We cannot determine this
D. 1,250 M

Answer 1

To find out how far Angela lifted the grocery bags, we can use the formula for work done (W), which is given by:

\[ W = F \times d \]

where:
- \( W \) is the work done (in Joules),
- \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons),
- \( d \) is the distance moved (in meters).

We can rearrange the formula to solve for distance \( d \):

\[ d = \frac{W}{F} \]

Given:
- Work done \( W = 50 \text{ Joules} \)
- Force \( F = 25 \text{ Newtons} \)

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ d = \frac{50}{25} = 2 \text{ meters} \]

The correct answer is **B. 2 M**.
