200 J of work is done when a force is applied to an object and the object moves 10 m to the right. How much Force was applied?

Respuesta :

Answer:

 20N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Work done  = 200J

Distance moved  = 10m

Unknown:

Amount of force applied  =?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied on a body to move it in the direction of the force.

      Work done  = force x distance

The unit of work done is in joules

Since the unknown is force, we make it the subject of the expression;

           Force  = [tex]\frac{Work done}{distance}[/tex]

           Force  = [tex]\frac{200}{10}[/tex]   =  20N
