Question

What is the work required for a penguin to push a box 2 meters with a force of 8 newtons?

Answer 1

Work done is given by product of force and displacement due to that force

So here we will have

`Work = Force * displacement`

here we know that

`Force = 8 N`

`displacement = 2 m`

Now work done is given as

`W = 8* 2`

`W = 16 J`

so it will do 16 J work to move the box
