A person gets a running start toward a wall from 5 meters away. The person pushes the wall with a force of 500 newtons, but the wall does not move. How much work is done by the person?
Work is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. In this case, since the wall does not move, the distance the wall moves is zero. Therefore, no work is done by the person pushing the wall.
