A truck accelerating at 0.0083 meters/secondÆ covers a distance of 5.8 × 10Ê meters. If the truck's mass is 7,000 kilograms, what is the work done to reach this distance?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

umm what is that unit "E"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats just to the 2 power

OpenStudy (roadjester):

umm ok so \[W = F\Delta x\] \[F=ma\] so work is \[W=ma\Delta x\]

OpenStudy (roadjester):

this is pure substitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats mass times acceleration right?

OpenStudy (roadjester):

mass times acceleration times displacement mass in kg acceleration in m/s^2 displacement in meters Work is in Joules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it gave me 3.4 x 10 to the 6 power. it was right thanks

OpenStudy (roadjester):
