The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the work done when a person moves a trolley, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Force (F) = 50 Newtons - Distance (d) = 10 meters 2. **Understand the formula for work done**: - The formula to calculate work done (W) is: \[ W = F \times d \] where \( W \) is the work done, \( F \) is the force applied, and \( d \) is the distance moved in the direction of the force. 3. **Substitute the values into the formula**: - Plugging in the values we have: \[ W = 50 \, \text{N} \times 10 \, \text{m} \] 4. **Perform the multiplication**: - Calculate the product: \[ W = 500 \, \text{N m} \] 5. **Convert the units**: - The unit of work done is Joules (J), and since \( 1 \, \text{N m} = 1 \, \text{J} \): \[ W = 500 \, \text{J} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the work done is 500 Joules. ### Final Answer: The work done is **500 Joules**. ---
