Question

If you push an object with a force of 220n for a distance of 3.0 meters, what is the work done?

Answer 1

Work is A=F ⃗S ⃗, where F ⃗ – is the force and S ⃗ – is the covered distance. In our situation F ⃗ and S ⃗ are co-directed, so their scalar product will be just FS. So, A=FS=220×3=660 j.
