. A box is pushed across the floor for a distance of 5 meters with a force of 50 Newtons in 5 seconds.
a. How much work is done?



b. What is the power?

Respuesta :

Answer:The total amount of work is

W = F × s (force x distance)

Explanation:   Explanation:

The work done in pushing the box is 250J b. The power is 50W.

What is Work done?

When a force is applied to a body and the body undergoes a displacement we say that work is done. So, mathematically we can write work done as product of force and displacement. Its unit is joule(J).

W = F x D

where, F = force, D = Displacement

What is power?

Power is the rate of doing work . If work is done by an appliance or object in less time then we can say that it has more power .Its unit is watt(W). Power is expressed as ,

P = W / t

where, W = work done ,t = time taken

To calculate the work done we use the formula

W = F X D

Given here, F = 50N displacement =5m

So, work done = 50 x 5 = 250J

Hence the work done in pushing a box across the floor for a distance of 5 meters with a force of 50 Newtons in 5 seconds is 250J.b. The power is given by ,P = W /t here, work done W = 250Jtime taken t = 5s

So, power is P = 250/5 =50W

Hence the solution of the question is

a. The work done in pushing the box is 250J

b. The power is 50W
