Here's why:

* Force: A push or pull that can cause a change in motion.

* Distance: The amount of space an object moves.

When a force acts over a distance, it does work. This work represents the energy transferred to the object.

Formula:

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

Units:

* Work is measured in Joules (J).

* Force is measured in Newtons (N).

* Distance is measured in meters (m).

Example:

If you push a box with a force of 10 Newtons over a distance of 5 meters, the work done is:

W = 10 N x 5 m = 50 Joules
