A mother pushes a baby stroller 50 meters by applying 10 newtons of force. How much work was done?

5 joules

40 joules

60 joules

500 joules

Verified Answer :

Work=forcedistance
J=m
n
500 joules

Answer : The correct option is, 500 joules

Solution :

Work done : Work done is defined as the applied force is caused by the displacement of an object.

Formula used for work done is :

\(W=F\times d\)

where,

W = work done  = ?

F = applied force = 10 N

d = displacement = 50 m

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the work done.

\(W=(10N)\times (50m)\)

\(W=500J\)

Therefore, the work done was, 500 joules
