Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 22.4 N. How much combined work is done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right?

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
