Question

Pulling a banner behind itself, an airplane exerts a force of 120 newtons over a distance of 550 km.Calculate the work the airplane does on the banner. Work (W) is the product of the force and the system's dispacement.

Answer 1

The work done by the airplane on the banner is

Joules.

Answer 2

## Step 1The problem involves calculating the work done by an airplane on a banner. The formula for work is given by:### **Work (W) = Force (F) x Displacement (d)**In this formula, the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the displacement is measured in meters (m).## Step 2The problem provides the force as 120 Newtons and the displacement as 550 kilometers. However, the displacement needs to be converted to meters for the formula to work correctly. We know that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so 550 kilometers is equal to 550,000 meters.## Step 3Now, we can substitute the given values into the formula:### **Work (W) = 120 N x 550,000 m**
