FORMULA:

W=Fd
Where: W= work (J)
F= force (N)
d= displacement (m)
Work at a given angle:
W= F cos θ d
1.When a box is pushed at a horizontal
distance of 0.5m by a force of 10N, how much
work is done?
Given:
F = 10 N d = 0.5 m W=?

W = Fd
W = 10 N (0.5m)
W=5J
 2. Angel is pulling her school bag at an angle of
25⁰ with the horizontal to a distance of 7m. If
she exerts a constant force of 50N in pulling
her bag, how much work is done?
Given:
θ = 25⁰ W = F cos θ d
d = 7m W = 50N cos 25 (7m)
F = 50N
W=? W = 317.21 J
3. A force of 15 N is exerted to move a trolley at a distance
of 5m on a level road. How much work is done if the
force is applied
a. Horizontally?
b. At an angle of 25⁰ with the horizontal?
c. At an angle of 45 ⁰ with the horizontal?

Given:
F = 15N W = F cosѲ d W = F cosѲ d
d = 5m W = 15 (cos 25) 5m W = 15 (cos 45) 5m
W=? W = 67.97 J W = 53.03 J
W = Fd
W = 15 N (5m)
W = 75 J
4. How much work is done by a horizontal of 150 N that
acts on a crate for a distance of 10 m? How much work
is done on a crate across a frictionless surface? How
much work is done on a crate if the crate returns to rest
due to friction?
F= 150 N W= F d W= F d

d = 10 m W = 150 N ( 10 m) W = 150 N ( 10 m)

W = 1500 J W = 1500 J

Wnet= F d
F fF
Wnet = 1500 N + (-1500 N)
d Wnet= 0
5. When a box is lifted at a vertical distance of
1.2 m by a force of 15 N, how much work is
done?
Given:
F = 15 N d = 1.2 m W=?

W = Fd
W = 15 N (1.2m)
W = 18 J
6. A 10 kg package is lifted at a height of
1.5 m, how much work is done?
Given:

m = 10 kg d = 1.5 m W=?
W = Fd g = 9.8 m/s²
F = mg
W = mgd
W = 10kg (9.8 m/s²) (1.5m)

W = 147 J
7. Emmanuel lifts a 30kg box and placed it
2.5m above the ground. How much work is
done?
Given:

m = 30 kg d = 2.5 m W=?
W = Fd g = 9.8 m/s²
F = mg W = mgd
W = 30kg (9.8 m/s²) (2.5m)

W = 735 J

•Answer MY TURN 2.1, p 29

m= 0.25kg d= 1.5m g = 9.8 m/s²
W= ?
W= Fd W= mgd
W= 0.25kg (9.8 m/s²)(1.5m)
W = 3.675 J W = 3.68 J
