Question

select the correct answer. in science, when a force moves an object, its called work. scientists use the term to describe the amount of an object that moves that object. work is measured in a unit called joules using the formula w = fd. in this work, f is the force in newtons, and d is the distance over which the force is applied in meters. if applying 6 newtons of force to an object results in 42 joules of work, what distance (in meters) would the 252 meters 36 meters 14 meters 7 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

$W = 42$ joules, $f=6$ newtons

Step2: Rearrange work - formula for distance

Given $W = fd$, we can solve for $d$ as $d=\frac{W}{f}$

Step3: Substitute values

$d=\frac{42}{6}=7$ meters

Answer:

7 meters
