Question

Hillary pushes a door for 0.2 m with 13 N of force. It swings another 0.8 m shut. If you were solving for the work done by Hillary on the door, which distance should be used?

A. 0.2 m

B. 0.8 m

C. 1.0 m

D. 2.6 m

Answer 1

Work=Force x Distance, then you have to consider the distance while the force is applied

Answer 2

The work done by Hillary is only the part in which she pushes on the door...0.2m.
