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.
