ANSWER
4 meters
EXPLANATION
Given:
• Work = 8.0 J
,• Force = 2.0 N
,• Mass of the box = 3.0 kg
Unknown:
• Distance the box moves
Work is the product of the applied force in the direction of motion and the distance an object moves,
[tex]W=F\cdot d[/tex]In this case, a box is pushed horizontally with a force of 2N producing a work of 8J. Solve the equation above for d,
[tex]d=\frac{W}{N}=\frac{8.0J}{2.0N}=4m[/tex]Hence, the horizontal distance the box moves is 4 meters.
