Answer 1

To calculate the work done on the ball, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Work} (W) = \text{Force} (F) \times \text{Distance} (d) \]

Where:

• \( F = 34.1 , \text{N} \)
• \( d = 1.6 , \text{m} \)

Now, we can plug in the values:

\[ W = 34.1 , \text{N} \times 1.6 , \text{m} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ W = 54.56 , \text{J} \]

So the amount of work Anne did on the ball is 54.56 J.
