A net force of 47.0 N acts on a 53.0 kg body initially at rest. Compute the work (in joules) done by the force in the first second of time.

Question

Not sure where to start at all :(

Answer 1

work = force * distance

so, how far does it travel in 1 second?
F=ma, so a=F/m

s = 1/2 at^2 = 1/2 (F/m) t^2
