How much work do you do when you push a 30kg pumpkin across 1.5 meters
To calculate the work done when pushing a pumpkin, you need to know the force applied and the distance over which it is applied. Work (W) is given by the equation:
W = Force × Distance
In this case, the force applied is not mentioned. Since force is required to cause motion, we can assume that you provide the force to push the pumpkin. However, the amount of force you exert isn't specified. So, I am unable to determine the exact value of work done without additional information.
If you know the force applied (in newtons) and the distance (in meters), you can multiply these values together to find the work done.
