cindy exerts a force of 40 newtons and moves a chair 6 meters. her brother andy pushes a different chair for 6 meters while exerting a force of 30 newtons. andy does work than cindy. the difference of their amounts of work is nm.
Work formula:
W = F d
F 1 = 40 N, d 1 = 6 m;
F 2 = 30 N; d 2 = 6 m.
W ( Cindy ) = 40 6 = 240 Nm
W ( Andy ) = 30 * 6 = 180 Nm
The difference of their amounts if work:
240 Nm - 180 Nm = 60 Nm
Answer:
The difference of their amounts of work is 60 Nm.
Explanation:
Given that,
Force exerted by Cindy = 40 N
Distance = 6 m
Force exerted by her brother = 30 N
Distance = 6 m
We need to calculate the work done by Cindy
Using formula of work done
\(W=F\cdot d\)
Put the value into the formula
\(W_{c}=40\times6\)
\(W_{c}=240\ Nm\)
We need to calculate the work done by her brother
Using formula of work done
\(W=F\cdot d\)
Put the value into the formula
\(W_{b}=30\times6\)
\(W_{b}=180\ Nm\)
We need to calculate the difference of their amounts of work
The difference of work done is
\(W=W_{c}-W_{b}\)
Put the value into the formula
\(W=240-180\)
\(W=60\ Nm\)
Hence, The difference of their amounts of work is 60 Nm.
