Question
Consider a particle on which several forces act, one of which is known to be constant in time: Fi = 3.00 i +4.00 ) N. As a result, the particle moves along a straight path from a Cartesian coordinate of 0.00 m, 0.00 m) to (5.00 m, 6.00 m). What is the work done by Fi?

Given that.
F=3•i+4•j
And it from point (0,0)m to (5,6)m
dx=final position – initial position
dx=(5,6)-(0,0)
dx=(5,6)m
dx=5•i +6•j
Work done by the force is give by
W = F•dx
W=F•dx
Note that i•i=j•j=1 and i•j=j•i=0
Then,
W=(3i+4j)•(5i+6j)
Therefore,
W=3i•(5i+6j)+4j•(5i+6j)
W=15i•i+18i•j+20j•i+24j•j
W=15+0+0+24
W=39J
Then the work done by the force is 39 Joules
