PHY 101 Work, Energy and Power Objective Question

Question

A man pulls an 80-kg crate 20 m with a force of 150 N at 30°. How much work is performed?
Options
A 1500 J
B 3000 J
C 2.6 × 10³ J
Correct Answer
D 0 J
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Work done is W = F s cos θ = (150 N)(20 m)(cos 30°) = 150 × 20 × 0.866 = 2598 J ≈ 2.6 × 10³ J.

Hint

Use the formula W = F s cos θ.
