Question

An ant sits on the back of a mouse. The mouse carries the ant across the floor for a distance of 150m to her bedroom. How much work did the mouse do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered  = 150m

Unknown:

Work done by mouse  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

In this case, work done;

    Work done  = force x distance

     Work done  = Weight x distance

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.
