Applying a force through a distance is known as work.

Here's a breakdown:

* Force: A push or pull on an object.

* Distance: The amount of space an object moves.

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)

Key points to remember:

* Direction matters: Work is only done if the force and the displacement are in the same direction. If the force is perpendicular to the displacement, no work is done.

* Units: Work is measured in Joules (J).
