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.
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
Therefore,
Work done is given by, W = 50 x 2 J
= 100 J.
