The correct Answer is:
To find the angle that the force makes with the direction of motion of the body, we can use the work-energy principle. The work done by a force is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Where: - \( W \) is the work done (in joules), - \( F \) is the magnitude of the force (in newtons), - \( s \) is the displacement (in meters), - \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Work done, \( W = 25 \, \text{J} \) - Force, \( F = 5 \, \text{N} \) - Displacement, \( s = 10 \, \text{m} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the work formula:** \[ 25 = 5 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 3. **Calculate \( 5 \cdot 10 \):** \[ 25 = 50 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 4. **Rearrange the equation to solve for \( \cos(\theta) \):** \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{25}{50} \] 5. **Simplify \( \frac{25}{50} \):** \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \] 6. **Find the angle \( \theta \):** \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] The angle whose cosine is \( \frac{1}{2} \) is \( 60^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The angle \( \theta \) which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is \( 60^\circ \). ---
