A person applies a constant force on an object of mass 40 kg that causes the object to move horizontally at a constant speed of 0.40 m/s through a distance of 0.80 m. What is the net work done on the object?
Added by Charles A.
Step 1
The work done by a constant force is given by the formula: Work = Force x Distance x cos(theta) Since the object is moving horizontally, the angle between the force and the displacement is 0 degrees, so cos(theta) = 1. Given that the force is constant, we can Show more…
