5. A boy exerts a force of 40.0 N to lift a load into a vehicle. If the work done is 80.0 J, calculate the distance through which the load is lifted.
- A. 0.5 m
- B. 2.0 m
- C. 40.0 m
- D. 120.0 m
Answer: B. 2.0 m
Work done = Force x Distance
Distance = $\frac{Work done}{Force}$
Work done = 80.0 J
Force = 40.0 N
Distance = $\frac{80.0 J}{40.0 N}$ = 2 m
Work done = Force x Distance
Distance = $\frac{Work done}{Force}$
Work done = 80.0 J
Force = 40.0 N
Distance = $\frac{80.0 J}{40.0 N}$ = 2 m
