How much work is done by this force?

A 20 N constant horizontal force is applied to a 5 kg box. As a result, the box moves 10 m to the right.How much work is done by this force?
Work = Force*Distance





So, if we plug in our numbers...





Work = 20N*5kg = 100 Joules





(A joule is a unit of energy, and work is a measure of energy. Just like a meter is a unit of distance, and displacement is a measure of distance.)How much work is done by this force?
wok = force X distance
