  • Work: Calculating Work Done with Force and Distance - Physics Explained
    The quantity calculated by multiplying the force on an object by the distance it moves while the force is applied is work.

    Here's the formula:

    Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

    Key points:

    * Force is a push or pull that can change an object's motion.

    * Distance is the amount the object moves in the direction of the force.

    * Work is measured in joules (J).

    Example:

    If you push a box with a force of 10 Newtons (N) and move it 5 meters (m), the work done is:

    Work = 10 N x 5 m = 50 Joules (J)
