Work
The resistance force is the opposing force a machine must overcome to move an object over a distance. The work done by the machine is the product of the force applied and the distance over which the object is moved.
In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move some distance as a result of your force.
When a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move, it means that the force is balanced by an equal and opposite force, resulting in a state of equilibrium. This can happen when the applied force is opposed by friction, gravity, or some other force preventing movement.
A person pushing a box across a floor:· Mass of box = 20 KG, Weight of Box = 196.2· Distance moved in the direction of the force = 2m· Work Done = Force X Distance ( in the direction of the force), 196.2 X 2= 392.4 Joules
Formally, energy is required to do work. Work is technically force times distance. Thus, what must occur is a force must be applied to an object and the object must move with some movement being in the direction of the force. The quantity of work done is the "dot" product of the force vector and displacement vector. To carry out work "on an object" or in any fashion requires the same amount of energy be used as the amount of work done. (Of course, friction and other inefficiencies result in the use of more energy than the actual work done, with the excess energy taking some other form, such as heat.)
You do work
when you exert a force on an object that causes the object to move some distance.
When you exert a force on an object that causes the object to move some distance .
Is done when a force exerted on an object causes that object to move some distance; equals to force times distance; measured in joules (j)

In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move some distance as a result of your force.
If you wish to actually move an object, some other force on the object has to be greater than the force of friction.

Some activities that apply force to move an object include pushing, pulling, lifting, dragging, and throwing. These activities involve exerting a force to overcome resistance and change the position of the object.
When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to the object to change its position or state. This can result in the object moving, heating up, or changing in some other way, depending on the type of work done. Work is calculated as the force applied to the object multiplied by the distance over which the force is applied.
