Answer to Question #99022 in Mechanics | Relativity for Christiana

Question

A faulty car causing obstruction at the center of a road. And when a force of 1,500N was applied to push it to a near by mechanic workshop the work done was 10,000J. How far away was the mechanic workshop.

Answer 1

From the formula for work

$A=F \cdot S \cdot \cos(\alpha)$

Where alpha ($\alpha$ )is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of movement

In our case $\alpha = 0$

then write

$S=\frac{A}{F \cdot \cos(\alpha)}=\frac{10000(J)}{1500(N) \cdot \cos(0)}=6,667(m)$
