Understanding the Concepts
* Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
* Joules: The unit of measurement for work is the joule (J).
Solving the Problem
1. We know:
* Force (F) = 100 Newtons (N)
* Work (W) = 1000 Joules (J)
2. We need to find: Distance (d)
3. Rearrange the work equation:
* Distance (d) = Work (W) / Force (F)
4. Substitute the values:
* Distance (d) = 1000 J / 100 N
5. Calculate:
* Distance (d) = 10 meters (m)
Answer: The 100 Newton force needs to move 10 meters to do 1000 joules of work.
