The physics
In physics, work has a precise meaning: force applied along a distance. Push a box 5 m with 200 N and you've done 1,000 J of work — energy transferred from you into motion and friction heat.
Work towing a suitcase 200 m with 25 N at 45°
Answer: work done = 3,535.53 J.
What we know
- Force: 25 N
- Distance: 200 m
- Angle between force and motion: 45°
Step by step
- Given
- F = 25 N, d = 200 m, θ = 45°
- Formula
- W = F × d × cos(θ)
- Substitute
- W = 25 × 200 × cos(45)
- Result
- W = 3,535.53 J
All results
