For you to carry a box of candies you need to exert 1.8 N to slide it across the table. If you do have 560 J of work in the process, how far have you move the box?
Answer (1)
Answer:311 metersStep-by-step explanation:Work is Force x DistanceIn this case:Work = 560 Joules (J)Force is 1.8 Newtons (N)Rearrange the relationship to find Distance: Distance = Work/Force Distance = (560 J)/(1.8 N)To insure the units are correct, lets covert both Joules and Newtons to their SI units. 1 N = 1 kg*m/s^2 1 J = 1 N*m or 1 kg*m^2/s^2 [Using the SI definition of Newton]Now let's calculate:Distance = (560 J)/(1.8 N)Distance = (560 1 kg*m^2/s^2)/(1.8 1 kg*m/s^2) kg and s^2 completely cancel. m^2/m cancels to just m (meters)Distance = (560 m)/(1.8)Distance = 311 meters
