Applying a force through a distance is known as work. Work equals force in Newtons times distance in meters, and the unit for force is the Newton•meter, N•m.

How much work is done by a force 10N IN moving an object through a distance 1m in direction of force?

Simply multiply force x distance. This assumes that the force is in the same direction as the movement.


If you are given force and time you can determine power if you can know?

Yes, power is determined by the formula Power = Force x Distance / Time. So if the force and time are given, you can calculate power if you also know the distance over which the force is applied.


What two things do you need to be able to know to measure work?

To measure work, you need to know the force applied and the distance over which the force is applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance traveled in the direction of the force.


The illustration shows Beatrice pushing on a heavy box Beatrice pushes with a force of 40 N How can you determine if Beatrice is doing work on the box?

To determine if Beatrice is doing work on the box, we need to know the distance over which she is pushing and the direction of the force she is applying. Work is done when a force is applied in the direction of motion over a distance. If Beatrice is pushing the box in the direction of motion over a distance, then work is being done on the box.


What two factors do you need to know to calculate how much work was done in any situation?

You need to know the amount of force applied to an object and the distance over which the force was applied in order to calculate the work done in any situation. Work is calculated as the product of force and the distance over which the force is applied, given by the equation work = force × distance.

What would you need to know to calculate both work and power?

-- Magnitude of the force (or force as a function of time) -- Distance through which it acted (or position as a function of time) -- Duration of the time during which it persisted Work is the product of (force) x (total distance). Power is (work) divided by (duration of the time). If the force and distance are functions of time, then I'm not sure how to do it right now, but I know there's an integral in there somewhere, and I'm not happy about that.

What is the formula for average force with distance?

I don't know about you but i don't care


What distance was an object moved by a force of 40 N if the work was 720 Joules?

In this case,Work done = Force x Distance ,So, Distance = Work done/force = 720/40 = 15 metres.*Note : If the force tends to slow the object down, then Workdone = -(Force x Distance )


How do you find power from force distance time and work?

Power = (work) divided by (time) If you don't know the amount of work, you can calculate it. Work = (force) times (distance).


How does increasing the distance affect the force of gravity?

Increasing the distance between two objects reduces the force of gravity between them. The force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance between the objects according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. This means that doubling the distance results in only a quarter of the original force.


How do you find the input force for a lever?

Ok, so a lever can be broken up into two 'sides' with a fulcrum in the middle. This idea simply utilizes the laws set forth for torque, or Force*distance. Static equilibrium (which would be when you input enough force on one side of the lever to balance the other) states the followingF1*D1 = F2*D2Starting from the left side of the lever, for have a force (F1) multiplied by the distance between that force and the fulcrum (D1). This can be set equal to the distance between the fulcrum and the second force, with this distance denoted as D2. If you want to know the input force, you need to know the other force, and both distances. Then you can simply divide. For example say want to know your input force, F2.F2 = (F1*D1)/D2Hope this helps


Imagine you are pushing a shopping cart what do you need to know in order to calculate how much force you are applying?

You would only need to know the accleration of the cart, and it's mass. Since there are wheels on the cart, you shouldn't have to worry about friction. It is as simple as newtons second law Force = mass times accleration. If you know two of these quantities, you can solve the equation for the third. Hope this helps!
