Answer:
3.00 J
7.17×10⁻⁴ kcal
Explanation:
Work (W) is equal to force (F) times the distance (d) along the direction of the force. One Joule is the equivalent of a Newton-meter, and there are 4184 Joules in one kilocalorie.
W = Fd
W = (5.00 N) (0.600 m)
W = 3.00 J
Rounded to three significant figures, the work done is 3.00 Joules. Converting to kilocalories:
W = 3.00 J × (1 kcal / 4184 J)
W = 7.17×10⁻⁴ kcal
