Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 300 \ Joules}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Work can be found by multiplying the force by the distance.
[tex]W=F*d[/tex]
The force is 600 Newtons.
The distance is 0.5 meters.
[tex]F= 600 \ N[/tex]
[tex]d= 0.5 \ m[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]W=600 \ N * 0.5 \ m[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]W=300 \ N*m[/tex]
A joule is the amount of work done when a force of 1 Newton moves the object 1 meter.
Therefore, 1 N*m is equal to 1 Joule. Our answer of 300 N*m is equal to 300 Joules.
[tex]W= 300 \ J[/tex]
300 Joules of work is done by the engine.
