The work done in pushing a TV set a distance of 2 m with an average force of 20 N is Group of answer choices40 J.800 J.20 J60 J

1. Break Down the Problem

To determine the work done in pushing the TV set, we will use the work formula: $W = F \cdot d$ where:

• $W$ is the work done (in joules, J),
• $F$ is the force applied (in newtons, N),
• $d$ is the distance moved in the direction of the force (in meters, m).

2. Relevant Concepts

• The given values are:
  • Force ($F$) = 20 N
  • Distance ($d$) = 2 m

3. Analysis and Detail

Now we can substitute the known values into the formula to calculate the work done: $W = 20 \, \text{N} \cdot 2 \, \text{m}$

4. Verify and Summarize

Calculating the above expression gives: $W = 40 \, \text{J}$ This means the work done in pushing the TV set is 40 joules.

Final Answer

The correct answer is 40 J.
