Mathew Fleming · Answer 1

d) 80 joules

Explanation:

Given that

Distance to move, d = 8 m

Applied force, F = 10 N

As we know that work done by a force to move a object distance d given as

W = F. d

Now by putting the values in the formula

W = 10 x 8 N. m

W = 80 N. m

We know that 1 J = 1 N. m

Therefore we can say that

W = 80 J

Therefore the answer will be d

d) 80 joules
