While throwing a football, you exert a forward force of 50.0N on it and push it forward a distance of 1.2m. How much work do you do on the football?

To find the work done on the football, we can use the formula:

Work = Force * Distance * cos(theta)

Where:
- Force is the applied force on the object (in this case, throwing force),
- Distance is the displacement of the object (in this case, the distance the ball is pushed forward), and
- theta is the angle between the applied force and the displacement. Since the force and displacement are both in the forward direction, the angle theta is 0 degrees and the cosine of 0 degrees is 1.

Plugging in the values:
Force = 50.0 N
Distance = 1.2 m
theta = 0 degrees (cos(0) = 1)

Work = 50.0 N * 1.2 m * cos(0)
Work = 60.0 Joules

Therefore, the work done on the football is 60.0 Joules.
