Understanding Work
Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated using the following formula:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
Applying the Formula
* Force (F) = 15 Newtons
* Distance (d) = 5 meters
* Work (W) = 15 N x 5 m = 75 Joules
Therefore, 75 Joules of work are performed when the crate is pushed.
