A person raises a box with a weight of 50 Newtons by 0.5 meter. How much work does the person do in this action?

1 answer

The work done by a person in lifting an object can be calculated using the formula:

Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d) x Cosine (θ)

Given:
Force (F) = 50 Newtons
Distance (d) = 0.5 meter
Angle (θ) = 0 degrees or in line with the direction of motion

Substituting the values into the formula:

W = 50 N x 0.5 m x cos(0°)
W = 25 Joules

Therefore, the person does 25 Joules of work in this action.
