A tornado moving cross a street with a force of 600 N pushes a trailer a distance of 25 m.
How much work was performed in the process?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

W = 15,000 Joule

Explanation:

Mechanical Work

Mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force. It's a scalar quantity, with SI units of joules.

If both the force and displacement are parallel, then we can use the scalar formula:

W=F.s

Where

F =Magnitude of the force

s = magnitude of the displacement

The tornado moved a trailer with a force of F=600 N for a distance of s=25 m. The work done was:

W = 600 N * 25 m

W = 15,000 Joule
