Question: A 3 kg object is pushed with a force of 15 N over a distance of 4 m. If the object experiences a frictional force of 3 N, what is the net work done on the object?
Options:
Correct Answer: 60 J
Solution:
Net force = Applied force - Friction = 15 N - 3 N = 12 N. Work done = Net force × Distance = 12 N × 4 m = 48 J.
