A constant force of 12 N in the positive x direction acts on a 4.0-kg object as it moves from the origin to the point 6i-8j m. How much work is done by the given force during this displacement

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Only force in the direction of motion does work

The force acts in the x direction

The x change of position was 6 m

W = Fd = 12(6) = 72 J

The work done by the given force during this displacement is determined as 120 J.

Work done on the object

The work done on the object is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

where;

  • d is the displacement of the object

d = √(6² + 8²)

d = 10 m

W = 12 x 10

W = 120 J
