Question 3 of 25As you slide a heavy box across the floor, friction applies a force of -60 N over a distance of 5 m. How much work is done by friction?A.-60 JB.-300 JC.-15 JD.-55 JSUBMITarrow_backPREVIOUS
Solution
The work done by a force is calculated by the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force is -60 N and the distance is 5 m. So, the work done by friction is:
Work = -60 N x 5 m = -300 J
So, the correct answer is B. -300 J.
