Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?

Work = force x distance
Work = 20 N x 80m
Work = 1600 n-m or 1600 joules
Hope this helps!

Answer:

The work done is 1600 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 80 m

Force = 20 N

We need to calculate the work done

The work done is equal to the product of the force and displacement.

Using formula of work done


W =F\cdot d

Where, F = force

d = displacement'

Put the value into the formula


W = 20*80


W = 1600\ N-m=1600\ J

Hence, The work done is 1600 J.
