CBSEENSC9006319

A body of mass 10 kg is displaced through a distance of 2 m under an acceleration of 5 m/s2. Calculate the work done.

Solution

Given,

Mass of the body, m - 10 kg

Acceleration, a = 5 m/s2

Displacement, s = 2 m

Therefore,

Work done, W = Fs 

Force on the body, F = ma 

                                 10×5 = 50 N
Therefore,

Work done is given by, W = 50 x 2 J

                                      = 100 J.
