Question

The same 600 N person lifts his 100 N carry-on bag upward a distance of 1.0 m. They travel another
10 m by riding on the "people mover." How much work was done in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

100J

Explanation:

The amount of work done here is 100J

Work done is the force applied along a particular distance.

 In this problem;

Weight of the object = 100N

Weight of the person  = 600N

Distance of raise  = 1m

Distance traveled  = 10m

Since work done is the force applied along a specific distance;

Work done  = force x distance  = 100 x 1  = 100J
