Question

A student applies 0.3 N of force to a computer mouse. The mouse slides .025 m. How much work did the student do on the mouse?

Answer 1

0.0075 N·m

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance:

W = fd

W = (0.3 N)(0.025 m) = 0.0075 N·m

Additional comment

1 N·m = 1 J

Use the units you like. You could also write this in terms of millijoules: 7.5 mJ.
