We've just started Energy and I'm having a bit of trouble. Here's the question: How much work is done by a football player pushing an opponent with a force of 700 N [E] for a displacement of 2.0m [E]? Would someone please post the answer and the solution. Thanks.
Wouldn't it be in Joules if it's energy, not Newtons? Edit: Nevermind, it's force not energy...my bad XD Assuming you guys aren't using the trig cosine, the above poster is right... Work Done = Force * Displacement X = 700*2 x= 1400 Joules
