A person using a lever applies 98 Newtons to lift a 20-kilogram box. They apply the force over a distance of 4 meters to lift the box a distance of 2 meters. How much work is done? (1 point)
Work is calculated by multiplying force and distance.
The force applied is 98 Newtons, and the distance over which the force is applied is 4 meters. So, the work done is 98 Newtons * 4 meters = 392 Newton-meters.
However, since the problem specifies that the box is lifted a distance of 2 meters, the work done is further calculated by multiplying the force by that distance, which is 98 Newtons * 2 meters = 196 Newton-meters.
Therefore, the amount of work done is 196 Newton-meters.
