Under the action of a force of 100 N, the body traveled 20 m. What work was done?

Initial data: F (force acting on the body) = 100 N; S (distance traveled by the body) = 20 m.

For the calculation, we assume that the vector of the acting force coincided with the vector of displacement of the body.

The work performed by a given force is determined by the formula: A = F * S.

Let’s calculate: A = 100 * 20 = 2000 J or 2 kJ.

Answer: A work of 2 kJ was performed.
