Question

The engine of a car exerts a constant pull of magnitude 500N. Find the distance traveled by the car if the work done by the force is 500kj.

Answer 1

The work done by force

$$W=Fd.$$

Hence, the distance traveled by the car

$$d=\frac{W}{F}=\frac{500\times 10^3\:\rm J}{500 \:\rm N}=1000\:\rm m.$$
