Question
To move a suitcase up to the check-in stand at an airport, a student pushes with a horizontal force through a distance of $0.95 \mathrm{~m}$. If the work done by the student is $32 \mathrm{~J}$, what is the magnitude of the force he exerts?
Step 1
Step 1: Recall the formula for work done, which is given by W = F × d × cosθ, where W is the work done, F is the force applied, d is the distance moved, and θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion. Show more…
