Understanding Work
Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. The formula for work is:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
Applying the Formula
* Force (F): 10.0 N (Newtons)
* Distance (d): 0.9 m (meters)
Calculation:
* Work (W) = 10.0 N * 0.9 m
* Work (W) = 9.0 Joules (J)
Answer: You do 9.0 Joules of work to lift the box.
