  • Work Done on an Object: Calculating Work with Force and Distance
    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:

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

    * Force: The push or pull applied to the object.

    * Distance: The distance the object moves in the direction of the force.

    Calculations

    * Force (F): 89 Newtons

    * Distance (d): 26 meters

    * Work (W) = F x d = 89 N x 26 m = 2314 Joules

    Answer: It takes 2314 Joules of work to push the mass.
