You carry a 7.0 kg bag of groceries above the level floor at a constant velocity of 75 cm/s across a room that is room. How much work do you do on the bag in the process?
A) 158 J
B) 82 J
C) 134 J
D) 0.0 J

Respuesta :

Answer:

Work done, W = 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bag, m = 7 kg

Speed of the person, v = 75 cm/s (constant)

To find,

Work done

Solution,

The product of force and displacement is called work done. It is given by :

[tex]W=Fd\ cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle between force and displacement

Here, the person carries a bag and moving with constant velocity. It means that the angle between force and displacement is 90 degrees.

[tex]cos(90)=0[/tex]

W = 0

So, the work done by the person on the bag in the process is equal to 0. Therefore the correct option is (d).
