If a force of 40 newtons moves a cart a distance of 9 meters, the work done is nm. if the same force moves the same cart three times that distance, the work done is nm.

1. 360 Nm

2. 1080 Nm

Explanation:

Work done is a product of the force and the displacement.

Work= Fd where F is the force and d the displacement.

For scenario 1 where distance =9 meters the work done=

40 N×9 m= 360 Nm

For scenario 2 where distance= 9×3 =27 m the work done =

40 N × 27 m = 1080 Nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the cart, F = 40 N

Distance, d = 9 m

Work done is given by :

If the same force moves the same cart three times that distance, d' = 3 × 9 = 27 m. Now work done is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.

the correct option is option d
