Answer:
Explanation:
Work is the product of force and distance, so the formula is:
The work is 6.00 Joules, but
The force is 2.50 Newtons.
The known values are:
Substitute the values into the formula.
We are solving for distance, so we must isolate the variable, d. It is being multiplied by 2.50 Newtons and the inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 2.50 N.
The units of Newtons cancel out.
The force was applied to the rock over a distance of 2.40 meters and choice C is correct.
