How much work is done if 10 N is applied to a 5kg object for 10 meters if there is an opposing force of 5 N

Respuesta :

Answer:

50 J

Explanation:

The net force acting on the box is given by the algebraic sum of the two forces, so:

[tex]F=10 N -5 N = 5 N[/tex]

The net work done on the box is equal to (assuming the net force is parallel to the displacement of the object)

[tex]W=Fd[/tex]

where

F = 5 N is the net force on the object

d = 10 m is the displacement of the object

Substituting,

[tex]W=(5 N)(10 m)=50 J[/tex]
