Question

if 120 n of force is applied to a crate to move it 15 m, how much work is done?
1,000 j
1,800 j
2,000 j
2,500 j

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the work formula

The formula for work \( W \) is \( W = F \times d \), where \( F \) is force and \( d \) is distance.

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Given \( F = 120\ N \) and \( d = 15\ m \), we calculate \( W = 120 \times 15 \).
\( 120\times15 = 1800 \) (unit: Joules, since work is measured in Joules when force is in Newtons and distance in meters).

Answer:

1,800 J
