Answer:

750 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.
