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.

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.


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.


What is a measureof the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?

Energy. The unit of measure for energy is the Newton (N).


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 quantity is calculator by multiply the fore on an object by the distance the object moves while the force is applied?

The quantity calculated by multiplying the force applied to an object by the distance the object moves is work. Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when a force does work on an object, causing it to move a certain distance.


What do you mean by workdone?

Work done is the measure of energy transfer that occurs when a force causes an object to move a certain distance in the direction of the force. It is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance moved in the direction of the force. Work done can lead to a change in the energy of an object.


What equals force and distance?

Work equals force multiplied by distance. It is a measure of the energy transferred to or from an object when a force is applied over a certain distance. Mathematically, work = force x distance x cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.


If you have a force acting on an object for a certain period of time how can you find the distance traveled?

There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.


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.


The amount of work done on an object is obtained by multiplying?

the force applied to the object by the distance it moves in the direction of the force. The work done is a measure of the energy transferred to the object.
