Q6 of 49 Page 11

How much work is done by a force of 10N in moving an object through a distance of 1m in the direction of the force?

The work done is calculated by using the formula:
W = F x S
Hence, Force, F = 10N
And, Distance, S = 1m
So, Work done, W = 10 x 1J = 10J
Thus the work done is 10 Joules.
