what is transferred by a force moving an object through a distance?
a. force
b. mass
c. motion*
d. energy
please check my answer
force times distance equals work (energy)
thank you so much
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concept of work in physics. According to the work-energy principle, work is done when a force acts on an object to cause it to move through a distance. Work is the transfer of energy. Therefore, the correct answer is d. energy.
To calculate the amount of work done, you can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance × cos(θ)
Where:
- Force is the magnitude of the force applied to the object.
- Distance is the distance the object is moved in the direction of the force.
- θ is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement (distance moved).
Remember, work is directly related to the amount of energy transferred.
