Question

choose the correct answer
if someone uses 200 newtons of force to move a car 10 meters forward, how much work is done?
300 n·m
10 n·m
2,000 n·m

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

Given \( F = 200 \, \text{N} \) and \( d = 10 \, \text{m} \), substitute into the formula: \( W = 200 \times 10 \).

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 200 \times 10 = 2000 \, \text{Nm} \).

Answer:

2,000 N·m (corresponding to the option with "2,000 N·m")
