The force that moves an object over a distance is called work.

Here's why:

* Force: A push or pull that can change an object's motion.

* Distance: The amount of space an object moves.

Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance.

Key points:

* Direction matters: The force must be applied in the same direction as the object's movement for work to be done. Pushing a wall doesn't do any work because the wall doesn't move.

* Work is measured in joules (J): One joule of work is done when a force of one newton moves an object one meter.
