A person gets it running start toward a wall from 5 m away. The person push the wall who force of 500 Newton, but the wall does not move how much work is done by the person.

Answer 1

The work done by the person can be calculated using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance x cos(angle)

In this case, the force applied by the person is 500 Newton, the distance to the wall is 5 meters, and the angle between the force and the distance is 0 degrees (cos(0) = 1).

Therefore, the work done by the person is:

Work = 500 N x 5 m x 1
Work = 2500 Joules

So, the person has done 2500 Joules of work in pushing against the wall.
