The forklift exerts a 300.0 N force on the box and moves it 15.0 m forward level into the air. How much work does the forklift do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is 0.00 J, but it could be something else.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@petiteme ?? You were so helpful before :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

w=mgh

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Awh. I'm glad I helped you :D For work... Work=mgh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That formula is mass*gravity*height? I thought work was F*d...?

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Use...Work= force x distance ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's 4,500 J?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass times gravity is force.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, duh! *facepalm* Thanks!

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Yes :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can either of you help me with another?

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Good job! Sure :D

A sailor pulls a boat horizontally alongside a dock for 10.0 m with a rope angled at 40.0°. He uses a force of 100.0 N. How much work did he do on the boat?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's 766 J

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Use work= force x distance x cos (theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 N * 10 * cos 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

766!

OpenStudy (petiteme):

YES :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more? :)

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Sure :D Good job dear ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last one, I promise! And thanks :)

The table shows the times for runners in a 100 m dash. A | 9.30 B | 5.70 C | 6.00 D | 7.42 If each runner has the same mass, which runner has the weakest force?

OpenStudy (petiteme):

So the table shows time?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my gosh! Yes, sorry. That was an important detail haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Never mind! I figured it out :)

OpenStudy (petiteme):

Aw. Okies ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much for your help :)!!!

OpenStudy (petiteme):

You're welcome! Good job! :D
