How do Scientists

define work?

Work is done when a force changes the

position of an object.

The unit for work is…

Joule (J) = 1Nx 1m

How would you write a formula to

determine work?

James Prescott Joule

Work = Force x Distance

Work

Force Distance

Morty applies a force of 120 Newtons to move his stubborn St. Bernard, Sir Drools A Lot, a distance of 3 meters. How much work did he do?

A force of 350 Newtons is required to move a file cabinet 7 meters to the other side of the room. How much work is done?

How far is a piano moved, by exerting a force of 720 Newtons, 5040 Joules of work are done?

If 9 Joules of work was done to a soccer ball, what force was used to move that ball 3 meters?
