Here's why:
* Force: A push or pull that can cause a change in motion.
* Distance: The amount of space between two points.
* Work: The product of the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
Formula for Work:
Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
Units of Work:
The standard unit of work is the joule (J). One joule is equal to the work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter.
Important Note: Work is only done when the force causes a displacement (movement) in the direction of the force. If the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, no work is done.
