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.
