A boy is sitting on a sled that is 100kg. If you pull the sled forward for 20 meters, your avg. force is 500N. How much work did you do at that time? (no friction on the ice/snow). What was your avg. acceleration?

Help for Force, Impulse and Momentum Thanks!

well i got the avg. acceleration i think..i just need help finding how much work he did, I don't know where to start lol

 

[zmillz18]

the avg acceleration i got was v1 = .04

well, work = force times distance, sooo … ?

 

[zmillz18]

so 500N x 20 meters?

 

[tiny-tim]

yup!
