Answer:

Displacement (i.e. change in its final position)

Step-by-step explanation:

In classical mechanics work is described as the displacement of the body in the direction of the applied force.

Mathematically given as:


W=F.s\ cos\ \theta

where:

F = force on the body

s = displacement of the body

θ = angle between the force and direction of displacement

While force, acceleration, velocity can also be the answer for the blank space but the displacement effect is visible during and even after the work has been done, so one can notice the change in position of the object even when the person has not seen the process but just the initial condition of the body.
