A force of 200 N is needed to push a tabble across a level classroom floor for a distance of 3 m. How much work was done on the table?

600J

W = fs

where W is work, f is force, and s is the distance through which the object was moved (PS: we assume that the force is in the direction of motion, not at a angle to it).

Plug in and solve.

300J

To find the amount of work done on the table, we need to use the formula:

Work = Force × Distance

In this case, the force used to push the table is 200 N, and the distance covered is 3 m. Plug these values into the formula:

Work = 200 N × 3 m

Now, we can calculate the work:

Work = 600 N·m

The unit for work is called a joule (J), so we can also write the answer as:

Work = 600 J

Therefore, 600 joules of work were done on the table.
