Answer:
The Amount of work is done on the box by the net force is 378 Joules.
Explanation:
Given:
A 42 N net force is applied to a box which slides horizontally across a floor.
Force = 42 N
Force applied for a displacement of 9.0 m
Displacement = 9.0 m
To Find:
Amount of work is done on the box by the net force = ?
i.e Work = ?
Solution:
When a force causes a object to move, work is being done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of energy transfer when a force (F) moves an object through a distance (d).
Formula is given by
[tex]Work=Force\times Displacement[/tex]
Substituting the given values we get
∴ Work = 42 × 9.0
∴ Work = 378 N-m
or
∴ Work = 378 Joules
The Amount of work is done on the box by the net force is 378 Joules.
