A force of F = (2xi - 4yj) N is applied to a 10-kg object on a plane. The object moved from an initial location of (3m, -5m) to a final location (-6m, 7m). Find the work done by the force.

Step 1
The displacement vector is the difference between the final and initial locations. Displacement vector = final location - initial location = (-6m, 7m) - (3m, -5m) = (-6m - 3m, 7m - (-5m)) = (-9m, 12m) Show more…
