  • Work Done by Gravity: Calculating Force and Distance
    Here's how to calculate the work done by gravity on the object:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * 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)

    * Force of Gravity: The force of gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. In this case, the force of gravity is 1N (Newton).

    * Distance: The object falls 1 meter.

    Calculation

    * W = F x d

    * W = 1 N x 1 m

    * W = 1 Joule (J)

    Answer: The work done by gravity on the object is 1 Joule.
