Consider a situation where a constant force of 25 N acts on an object having a mass of 2 kg for 3 seconds.What is the work done by the force?

a. 150 J
b. 50 J
c. 75 J
d. undetermined—not enough information given
e. none of the above


d
RATIONALE: If one were told the object's initial velocity then one could calculate the work done by using the equations for constant acceleration to find the distance traveled.

At a given location in space, the potential is known to be greater when one moves in any direction. To be more specific, no matter which direction one goes, a small step in that direction results in an increase in the potential by the same amount. This means that the Electric field at this location is
