A car has run out of gas. Fortunately, there ia a gas station nearby. You must excert a force of 715 N on the car in order to move it. By the time you reach the station, you have done 2.72 x 10^4 J of work. How far have you pushed the car?
\(Work=Force(distance) \\ W=Fd \\ \frac{W}{F}=d \\ \\ \frac{2.72(10^4)}{715}=d \\ \\ \frac{27200}{715}=d \\ 38.04195804195804=d\)
The car was pushed 38.04195804195804 (units is unknown)
Answer:
the distance that it will move is given by
d = 38 m
Explanation:
As we know that work done is defined by the product of force and displacement
So we will have
W = F .d
now we will have
F = 715 N
\(W = 2.72 \times 10^4 J\)
now we have
W = F.d
\(2.72 \times 10^4 = 715 \times d\)
[tex]d = 38 m[/tex
so the distance that it will move is given by
d = 38 m
