Question

Which of the following describes how net work is determined?

A. The difference in the initial and final forces applied

B. The net force on an object applied for a brief second

C. The initial force applied to an object over a distance

D. The net force on an object applied over a distance

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The net force on an object applied over a distance

Explanation:

Work can be defined as the product of force multiplied by a distance

Where

F = force [Newtons]

d = distance = [meters]

Therefore:

Work = F * d

Work in units of Joules [J]
