How do you calculate the work don on an object when you push it
The formula to calculate the work done on an object when you push it is given as:
Work = Force x Distance
where,
- Force is the amount of force applied on the object while pushing
- Distance is the distance the object moves due to the applied force
For example, if you push a box with a force of 50 N over a distance of 5 meters, then the work done on the box can be calculated by:
Work = Force x Distance
Work = 50 N x 5 m
Work = 250 Joules
Therefore, the work done on the box is 250 Joules.
