  • Calculating Work Done: A Physics Guide
    Here's how to calculate the work done:

    Understanding the Concepts

    * Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as the product of force and displacement.

    * Force: A force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

    * Displacement: Displacement is the change in position of an object. It's the straight-line distance between the starting and ending points.

    Formula

    Work (W) = Force (F) × Displacement (d)

    Applying the Formula

    * Force (F) = 3.4 Newtons

    * Displacement (d) = 12.4 meters

    Work (W) = 3.4 N × 12.4 m = 42.16 Joules

    Answer: The work done is 42.16 Joules.
