How much work is done when a force of 50.0 lb is used to push a box 10.0 ft across a level floor?

That completely depends on your own efficiency of motion. The only work you do
is whatever it takes to operate your muscles and limbs. Moving a load horizontally
doesn't add energy to the load, so the effective 'industrial' work is zero.

Why when you push an object across a desk the work done is not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?
In this case, you are not doing work against the force of gravity, but against the force of friction.
Is work being done when someone is sitting on a cushion on the floor?
Well. Work is being done. While sitting down, the person does not apply any force. He lets himself be dragged down by gravity. During this process, the gravitational force is doing the work. The work done by the gravitational force is stored as the potential energy present in the compressed cushion.
How do you calculate work done on an object .?
The equation to calculate the work done is: Work done (J) = force applied (n) x distance moved of force (m)
How much work is done when a vertical force acts on an object moving horizontally?
as work done is dot product of force and displacement so cos(90)=0;therfore work done is zero
How do you remove felt pen from vinyl floor?
Cant be done sorry
If you push a piano 5 meters across the floor with a force of 400 N. how much work have you done?
2000
How much work is done whet a force of 800.0 N is exerted while pushing a crate across a level floor for a distance of 1.5 m?
W = Fd = 800 x 1.5 = 1200
What amount of work is done on a cart that is pushed 4 meter across a floor by a horizontal 50 Newton net force?
Work= 200 Joules.
What amount of work is done on a chair that is pushed 89 m across a floor by a horizontal 30-N net force?
Just use the basic definition of work:work = force x distanceIf the distance is in meters and the force is in newton, then the work will be in joules.
How much work is done when a 100N force pushes a crate 5m across a factory floor?
Work performed = Force x displacement = 100 x 5 = 500 J (joule)
You push a couch 8 meters across the floor with a force of 200 N How much work have you done?
Work is a force applied over a distance.So W=F*dThus in this case, W=200N*8mWork=1600 N*m3,000 J
A crate is pulled across a horizontal floor by a rope At the same time the crate pulls back on the rope in accord with Newton's 3rd law Does the work done on the crate by the rope then equal zero?
Work done = force x mass . gotcha
A student applies a 20 newton force to move a crate at a constant speed of 4 meters per second across a rough floor how much work is done by the student on the crate in 6 seconds what is the answer?
80 J
A 50 newton force is required to push a 10 kg box 30 meters across the floor. The box is then lifted up 6 meters and placed on a shelf. How much total work was done?
2,088 J
A force of 20 N is required to lift a box the box is lifted from the floor to a shelf that is 2 m high the amount of work done is?
Work Done= Force applied x distance moved in direction of the force. so the work done should in this case be 40J
Why would work be done if the book fell from the top of the desk to the floor?
work would be done if the book fell from the top of the desk to the floor because there has been some force through which the book fell down and therefore the book got displaced from his initial position . hence the work is done in this situation because it has a force and a displacement which is essential for the work to be done.
Person pushes a box across level floor appying a force of 200 N. How much work does a person do at 5meters in 10 seconds?
Work = (force) x (distance)(200 newtons) x (5 meters) = 1,000 newton-meters = 1,000 joulesIt makes no difference whether the push comes from a person or a bull, whether it's a boxor a piano being pushed, whether the box is sliding on a level floor or plowing through aninclined sandbox, whether the job is done fast or slow, or how long it takes.200 newtons pushing through a distance of 5 meters produces 1,000 joules of work.
