How many joules of work are done on an object when a force of 10 N pushes it a distance of 10 m?
The work done on an object in Joules for a given force and distance
Answer to Problem 4A
The work done on the object for the given force and distance is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A force of 10 N pushes an object through a distance of 10 m
Formula used:
When a force is done on an object, the distance through which it is moved is also a factor to be considered. In this case, the product of force and distance is referred to as the “work done” on the object. It can be expressed as,
Calculation:
The force done on the object is 10 N and the distance through which the object moves is given by 10 m. The work done is therefore given by,
Conclusion The work done on the object for a given force and distance is 100 J.
