A tow truck does 90 kilojoules of work to tow a car 300 meters to the garage. Calculate the force exerted by the tow truck.
The formula for work is: W = Fd
We can rearrange the formula to solve for force:
where:
W is the work done,
F is the force applied,
d is the distance over which the force is applied.
Given:
W = 90 kJ = 90000J
d = 300m
Plugging in the values, we get:
