  • Work Done: Calculating Energy Expended to Lift an Object
    Here's how to calculate the work done:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as the product of force and displacement.

    * Force: The force applied to the book is 1 Newton (N).

    * Displacement: The distance the book is lifted is 2 meters (m).

    Calculation

    Work (W) = Force (F) × Displacement (d)

    W = 1 N × 2 m

    W = 2 Joules (J)

    Answer: The work done when lifting the book is 2 Joules.
