The forklift exerts a 300.0 N force on the box and moves it 15.0 m forward to the stack.How much work does the forklift do against the force of gravity?options are4.50×10^3 J1.50×10^3 J500 J0.00 J

Respuesta :

We are asked to determine the work that a forklift exerts on a box. To do that we will use the following equation:

[tex]W=F\mathrm{}d[/tex]

Where "W" is the work, "F" is the force and "d" is the distance that the object is moved by the force "F". Replacing the values we get:

[tex]W=(300N)(15m)[/tex]

Solving the operation we get:

[tex]W=4500J[/tex]

This can be written in scientific notation as:

[tex]W=4.5\times10^3J[/tex]
