Question

A car has run out of gas. Fortunately, there is a gas station nearby. You must exert 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 104 j of work. How far have you pushed the car?.

Answer 1

The distance covered after pushing this car is equal to 38.04 meters.

Given the following data:

• Force = 715 Newton.

• Work = $2.72 \times 10^4 \;Joules$

To calculate the distance covered after pushing this car:

How to calculate work done.

Mathematically, the work done by an object is calculated by using this formula:

$Work\;done = Fd$

Where:

• F is the force.

• d is the distance or displacement.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$2.72 \times 10^4=715 \times d\\\\27200=715d\\\\d= \frac{27200}{715}$

Distance, d = 38.04 meters.
