A delivery boy on a bicycle drags a wagon full of newspapers by pedaling at 0.90 m/s for 45 minutes using a force of 40 N. How much work has the boy done?

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for work is

W = FΔx

We are looking for work, so that means we have to be able to fill in the Force and the displacement. We have Force, but we don't have displacement. But the thing we need to do first is change the 45 minutes to seconds because the velocity is in m/s, not m/min.

45 minutes is 2700 seconds.

That means that  the displacement is

Δx = (.90)(2700) so

Δx = 2430 m

Now we plug that in to find work, along with the given Force:

W = 40(2430) so

W = 97200 J (and that is not the correct number of sig fig's but I have a feeling you're not too into that in class, because if you were, the 40 N would be expressed as 40.0 or 4.0 × 10¹)
