Answer:
The work done is 12 MJ.
Explanation:
The engine of a car exerts a constant traction force of F=4000N . Assume that the car is moving at a constant speed of 36 km/hr. In five minutes, what is the work done by the engine's traction?
Force, F = 4000 N
speed, v = 36 km/h = 10 m/s
time , t = 5 minutes = 5 x 60 = 300 s
Work done is given by
W = force x distance
W = 4000 x 10 x 300 J = 12 x 10^6 J = 12 MJ
