2. Calculate the work done by a 47 N force pushing a 0.025 kg pencil 0.25 m against a force of 23 N.

6 J

Explanation:

Total force applied = 47 N Assuming that direction of movement of pencil and applied force is same. Work done by force in moving the pencil W = Force × Distance through which force moves ⇒ W = 47 × 0.25 = 11.75 J .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. In case we are asked useful work done then we calculate net force used for pushing the pencil: Net force used for pushing the pencil = 47 − 23 = 24 N Assuming that direction of movement of pencil and net force is same. Useful Work done by force in moving the pencil W u = Force × Distance ⇒ W u = 24 × 0.25 = 6 J

i think its c if i'm wrong
