Carrie moved a suitcase a total of 12 meters from her room to the front door. She used a force of 50 Newtons. Is the amount of work Carrie did to move the suitcase?

Answer 1

The equation for work is W = F*∆x F = force, ∆x = displacement.

Here, F=50 newtons, and ∆x=12 meter. This gives us the equation:

50N * 12m = 600J

Units:

1J=1N*1m
