  • Work Done by a Force: Calculation and Example
    Here's how to calculate the work done:

    Understanding Work

    Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as:

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

    Applying the Information

    * Force (F) = 12 N

    * Distance (d) = 0.5 m

    Calculation

    * W = 12 N x 0.5 m = 6 Joules (J)

    Answer: The work done is 6 Joules.
