Question

Calculate the distance through which a tonga moves when the horse applies a force of $250N$ and the work done is $6250J$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Given that:-

Force, $F=250N$

Work done, $W=6250J$

Distance, $s=?$(to be calculated)

Step 2: Calculating the distance

$Workdone\left(W\right)=force\left(F\right)\times displacement\left(s\right)$

By putting the given values in a formula, we get

$$\begin{gathered} W=F\times s \\ 6250J=250N\times s \\ \therefore s=\frac{6250J}{250N}=25m \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the tonga covers a distance of $25m$ in the direction of the applied force.
