Understanding Work

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)

Applying the Information

* Force (F) = 200 N

* Distance (d) = 5 meters

* Time (t) = 10 seconds (This information is not needed to calculate work.)

Calculation

* Work (W) = 200 N x 5 m = 1000 Joules (J)

Answer: The person does 1000 Joules of work.
