Understanding the Concepts

* Work (W): The amount of energy transferred when a force acts over a distance. Measured in Joules (J).

* Force (F): A push or pull that can change the motion of an object. Measured in Newtons (N).

* Distance (d): The length over which the force acts. Measured in meters (m).

The Formula

The relationship between work, force, and distance is:

* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

Solving for Force

To find the force, we can rearrange the formula:

* Force (F) = Work (W) / Distance (d)

Calculation

* Work (W) = 15 Joules

* Distance (d) = 1 meter

* Force (F) = 15 J / 1 m = 15 Newtons (N)

Answer: A force of 15 Newtons is required to do 15 Joules of work over a distance of 1 meter.
