Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Work Done by a 45 N Force

The work done by a force is calculated using the formula:

\[ W = F \cdot D \]

where \( F \) is the force and \( D \) is the distance. For the first question:

\[ F = 45 \, \text{N}, \quad D = 0.25 \, \text{m} \]

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[ W = 45 \times 0.25 = 11.25 \, \text{J} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Work Done by a 2.5 N Force

Using the same formula for work:

\[ W = F \cdot D \]

where \( F = 2.5 \, \text{N} \) and \( D = 0.75 \, \text{m} \):

\[ W = 2.5 \times 0.75 = 1.875 \, \text{J} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Distance a Mother Can Push a Baby Carriage

To find the distance, we rearrange the work formula:

\[ W = F \cdot D \quad \Rightarrow \quad D = \frac{W}{F} \]

Given \( W = 2500 \, \text{J} \) and \( F = 60 \, \text{N} \):

\[ D = \frac{2500}{60} = 41.6667 \, \text{m} \]

Final Answer

  1. The work done by a 45 N force is \(\boxed{11.25 \, \text{J}}\).
  2. The work done by a 2.5 N force is \(\boxed{1.875 \, \text{J}}\).
  3. The distance the mother can push the baby carriage is \(\boxed{41.67 \, \text{m}}\).
