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.
