The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the force and the direction of motion of the body, we can use the formula for work done: \[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \] where: - \( W \) is the work done, - \( F \) is the force applied, - \( d \) is the displacement, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement. ### Step 1: Write down the known values - Work done, \( W = 25 \, \text{J} \) - Force, \( F = 5 \, \text{N} \) - Displacement, \( d = 10 \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Substitute the known values into the work done formula Using the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Substituting the known values: \[ 25 = 5 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation \[ 25 = 50 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \cos(\theta) \) To isolate \( \cos(\theta) \), divide both sides by 50: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{25}{50} \] \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 5: Find \( \theta \) Now, we need to find the angle \( \theta \): \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] From trigonometric values, we know: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Conclusion The angle between the force and the direction of motion of the body is \( 60^\circ \). ---
