Answer:

687,500 N

Explanation:

Workdone = Force × Distance

Making force the subject of the formula; we have:

Force =[tex]\frac{workdone}{distance}[/tex]

Given that:

workdone  = 5.5×10⁵ J

Distance = 0.80 m

∴ Force = [tex]\frac{5.5*10^5}{0.8}[/tex]

Force = 687,500 N

Answer:

6.875×10⁵  N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration or it can be defined as the ratio of work done and distance. The S.I unit of force is Newton.

W = F×d................. Equation 1

Where W = work done, F = force, d = distance.

make F the subject of the equation

F = W/d.................... Equation 2

Given: W = 5.5×10⁵ J, d = 0.8 m

Substitute into equation 2

F =  5.5×10⁵ /0.8

F = 6.875×10⁵  N.

Hence the force exerted on the truck by the sand = 6.875×10⁵  N.
