Answer 1

Joseph does 6.0 Joules of work in pushing the leaves.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the work done by Joseph in pushing the pile of dead leaves, we can use the formula:

Work = Force * Distance

Substituting the given values:

Force = 2.0 N

Distance = 3 meters

Work = 2.0 N * 3 meters = 6.0 Joules

Therefore, Joseph does 6.0 Joules of work in pushing the leaves.
