Question 10 • GA-GSE Physical Science B

Sierra did 500 J of work to move her couch. If she exerts 250 N of force on the couch, how far did she move it? (Work: W = Fd)

Answer
A
0.5 m
B
2 m
C
250 m
D
750 m

Explanation

Use the work formula W = Fd and solve for distance: d = W ÷ F. Substituting the values gives d = 500 J ÷ 250 N = 2 m, since one joule equals one newton-meter. The correct choice is 2 m.
