There is no such thing as an amount of force needed to move a certain distance.

Asteroids, comets, moons, and planets have been moving trillions of miles through

space for billions of years with either no force on them at all, or no force in the

direction they're moving.

You may have heard of Newton's First Law. It says that an object with no forces

acting on it keeps moving in a straight line at a constant speed, which is kind of

another good way of saying that it can move as far as you want it to with no force

on it.

What is a force used to move an object a certain distance called?

Work. Work is done on an object when a force causes the object to move over a certain distance in the same direction as the force applied. Work is calculated as the product of force and distance.


Is work the measure of amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?

No, the amount of work done on an object is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance over which the force is applied. It is a measure of the energy transferred to or from an object when a force is exerted on it to move it a certain distance.


What is the scientific term for a measure of the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?

The scientific term for a measure of the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance is work. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance it moves in the direction of the force.


Work is the measure of the used to move an object?

Work is the measure of force used to move an object.Force is the answer. Hope it helped.


Work is done when a force is used to do what to an object over a certain distance?

Work is done when a force is used to move an object.Work = force x distance.


Is work done every time forces are exerted on an object?

No, work is only done if the force causes the object to move in the direction of the force. If the force is exerted but the object does not move, no work is done. Work is calculated as force multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.


Is friction a measure of the amount of force needed to move something a certain distance yes or no?

Yes. Friction is a force that resists the motion of an object moving across a surface. The amount of force needed to overcome friction and move an object a certain distance depends on factors like the roughness of the surfaces in contact and the weight of the object.


What is work and how is it defined as the result of applying a force over a certain distance in a system?

Work is the result of applying a force over a certain distance in a system. It is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move a certain distance in the direction of the force.


Work is done when?

work= force × distance so if an object moves 4metres, and the force to move it is 2N, (Newtons) the work done would be 4 × 2 = 8Joules (Work is measured in Joules) In other words, work is done when an object moves a certain distance when a certain amount of force is applied to it.


What is the work of how much an object can do?

The work of an object is defined as the amount of energy transferred by a force acting on the object as it moves a certain distance in the direction of the force. It is measured in joules and represents the ability of the force to move the object and do work on it.


What is the use of force to move an object some distance?

The use of force to move an object some distance is called work. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Work is measured in joules.


What work is being done when pulling?

When you pull on an object, you are applying a force to move the object towards you or away from its current position. Work is being done when this force causes the object to move a certain distance in the direction of the force applied. Work is calculated as the amount of force applied multiplied by the distance over which the force is exerted.
