Understanding the Concepts
* Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It is calculated as:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
* Force: A force is a push or pull that can change an object's motion.
* Mass: Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains.
The Problem
You're given:
* Force (F) = 10 Newtons
* Distance (d) = 5 meters
* Mass (m) = 21 kilograms (This information is not directly needed to calculate work)
Solution
1. Apply the work formula:
* W = F x d
* W = 10 Newtons x 5 meters
* W = 50 Joules
Answer: The work done is 50 Joules.
