Applying force to an object and moving it a distance is called work.

Here's a breakdown of the concept:

* Force: A push or pull that can change an object's motion.

* Displacement: The change in an object's position.

* Work: The product of the force applied and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.

Formula:

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

Important Note: Work is only done when the force causes a displacement in the object. If the object doesn't move, no work is done, even if force is applied.
