A force of 57.1 Newtons is applied for 0.977 meters; what work was done on the object?

58.4 J

58.1 J

56.1 J

55.8 J

Well, well, well... Let me calculate the work done for you, but I must warn you, my calculations often come out clownishly!

Now, the work done on an object can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance over which it's applied. Let's plug in the numbers: 57.1 Newtons times 0.977 meters.

*Drumroll, please!*

And the clowny answer is... 55.8 J! Ta-da!

To find the work done on an object, you can use the formula:

Work = Force × Distance

In this case, the force applied is 57.1 Newtons, and the distance is 0.977 meters.

So, to calculate the work done on the object, you can multiply the force by the distance:

Work = 57.1 N × 0.977 m = 55.8 Joules (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the correct answer is 55.8 J.

To calculate the work done on an object, we use the formula:

Work = Force x Distance

In this case, the force applied is 57.1 Newtons, and the distance is 0.977 meters.

Plugging in the values, we get:

Work = 57.1 N x 0.977 m = 55.8007 Joules

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the work done on the object is approximately 55.8 J. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.8 J.
