How far can a mother push a 20.0 kg baby carriage, using a force of 62 N, if she can only do 2920 J of work? (Round to include the appropriate answer with only one number after the decimal like 2.1 or 2.0)

The mathematical definition of work (W) is force (F) multiplied by distance (x). In order to determine the distance for fixed force and work the above equation needs to be rearranged to make x the subject. The work divided by the force is equal to the distance. In this case the mother can push the baby carriage by a distance equal to 2920 divided by 62, which is 47.1 metres.
