Which movement will require the greatest amount of work to be done? A a force of 10N moving an object a distance of 3.0m B a force of 10N moving an object a distance of 5.0m C a force of 15N moving an object a distance of 3.0m D a force of 15N moving an object a distance of 5.0m
Question
Which movement will require the greatest amount of work to be done? A a force of 10N moving an object a distance of 3.0m B a force of 10N moving an object a distance of 5.0m C a force of 15N moving an object a distance of 3.0m D a force of 15N moving an object a distance of 5.0m
Solution
The amount of work done is calculated by the formula Work = Force x Distance.
For each option, we calculate as follows:
A) Work = 10N x 3.0m = 30 Joules B) Work = 10N x 5.0m = 50 Joules C) Work = 15N x 3.0m = 45 Joules D) Work = 15N x 5.0m = 75 Joules
Therefore, the movement that will require the greatest amount of work to be done is option D, a force of 15N moving an object a distance of 5.0m.
