Question

how much work is done by a force of 40N in moving an object through a distance of 2 metre in a direction of a force

Answer 1

Given:

the force is

$F=40\text{ N}$

The distance the object is moved

$d=2\text{ m}$

Required: work done to move an object

Explanation: When a force is applied to an object and that object is moved a distance d then it said that the work is done.

work done is given by

$W=Fd$

Plugging all the values in the above relation we get

$\begin{gathered} W=40\text{ N}\times2\text{ m} \\ W=80\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the work done is 80 joule.
