Question

What does one newton exerted over a distance of one
meter equal?

Answer 1

One Joule.

Step-by-step explanation:

One newton exerted over a distance of one meter equal to one joule.

Joules is the S.I unit used for the measurement of scientific quantities such as work and energy and it was named after the prominent English physicist, James Prescott Joule.

Given the following data;

Force = 1N

Distance = 1N

Therefore, we know these parameters or quantities are directly related to work.

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance

`W = F * d`

Where,

• W is the work done
• F represents the force acting on a body.
• d represents the distance covered by the body.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`W = 1 * 1`

Work done = 1 Joule.
