A soccer player kicks a ball, applying a force of 1,000 newtons over a distance of 0.2 meter. The ball travels 50 meters down the field before another player stops the ball. How much work in joules was done during the kick?
The work done during the kick can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
Given:
Force = 1,000 newtons
Distance = 0.2 meters
Work = 1,000 newtons × 0.2 meters
Work = 200 joules
Therefore, 200 joules of work were done during the kick.
