Calculate the average force F acting on car
A car does the work Wcar=5.9x105 J in traveling a distance x=6.3 km (6300 m) at constant speed.
Calculate the average force F (from all sources) acting on the car in this process.
Work = Force x Distance = F [tex]\Delta[/tex]x
Since W=F[tex]\Delta[/tex]x
W=F/x
so F=5.9x10^5 J / 6300 m = 3717 N
Which is wrong. Not sure what else i could do. I'm not given any information other than supplied.
