Answer: [tex]5.8\cdot 10^4 J[/tex]
Explanation:
The work done by Carlos is given by:
[tex]W=Fdcos\theta[/tex]
where
F is the force exerted by Carlos
d is the distance through which the car has been pulled
[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between the direction of the force and the motion of the car
In this problem, [tex]F=2000 N, d=30 m, \theta=15^{\circ}[/tex]. By substituting these numbers into the formula, we find
[tex]W=(2,000 N)(30 m)(cos 15^{\circ})=57,956 J=5.8\cdot 10^4 J[/tex]
