Question

Two football players each applied 100 n of force to sack the qb and move him 3 meters downfield. How much work was done?

Answer 1

We know that the equation for work is W=force x distance, where work is in Joules, force is in Newtons and distance is in meters. In this situation, W= (100*2) x 3 which would result in W=600 J. The work done was 600 Joules.
