Answer:

70 joules

Explanation:

We have the following information

100N and 0.7 m

What is workdone?

We say that Work is done if a force which is applied to an object is able to move that object. We calculate the value of The work by multiplying the force by what is known to be the movement of the object.

(Workdone = Force x distance).

A force of 100 newtons, in this question moves an object 0.7 meters

Workdone =

100N x 0.7

= 70 joules

Thank you!
