A force of 10 N acts on an object. The object is displaced by 2 metres in the direction of the force. The force acts on the object all through the displacement. What is the work done?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The work done is 20 joules. Work is calculated by multiplying the force (F) by the displacement (d), when the displacement is in the direction of the force: W = F x d = 10 N × 2 m = 20 J
Force (F): 10 N
Displacement (d): 2 m
Formula: W = F x d
Calculation: 10 x 2 = 20
Therefore, the correct option is 20 J.
