Here's why:

* Force: A push or pull that can cause a change in motion.

* Distance: The amount of space an object moves.

When a force causes an object to move a certain distance, we say that work has been done. The amount of work done is directly proportional to both the force applied and the distance moved.

Formula for Work:

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

Units of Work:

The standard unit of work is the joule (J), which is equal to one newton-meter (N·m).
