Question

While pulling a bicycle out of the garage, you must pull it a total of 1.7 m with a force of 27 n. how much work are you doing on the bicycle?

a. 25.3 j
b. 6.3 j
c. 45.9 j
d. 15.9 j

Answer 1

45.9 newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that While pulling a bicycle out of the garage, you must pull it a total of 1.7 m with a force of 27 n

The distance displaced is 1.7 m.

Force is 27 newtons.

Formula used

Work done = force x distance

Here substitute 27 for force and 1.7 for distance

Work done =
`27x1.7 = 45.9 newtons`

Answer 2

Work = force in the direction of the movement x distance = 27 N x 1.7 m

Work = 45.9 joules

Answer: option c.
