Question
Can someone please help me with this ? (it’s all one task or question and it’s not graded)

Transcribed Image Text:Work Problems
Directions: Use the work formula, Work Force x Distance, to
complete the following problems. Remember your units!
Units: Work Joules (J) Force= Newtons (N) Distance= meters (m)
Amy uses 20N of force to push a lawn mower 10 meters. How much work
does she do?
How much work does an elephant do while moving a circus wagon 20 meters with
a pulling force of 200N?
A 900N mountain climber scales a 100m cliff. How much work is done by the
mountain climber?
Angela uses a force of 25 Newtons to lift her grocery bag while doing 50 Joules
of work. How far did she lift the grocery bags?
The baseball player does 1234 Joules of work when hitting a baseball into left
field. Assuming the baseball landed 100 meters away from home plate, how much
force did the player use to hit the ball?
