The formula to calculate the work done on an object when you push it is given as:
Work = Force x Distance
where,
- Force is the amount of force applied on the object while pushing
- Distance is the distance the object moves due to the applied force
For example, if you push a box with a force of 50 N over a distance of 5 meters, then the work done on the box can be calculated by:
Work = Force x Distance
Work = 50 N x 5 m
Work = 250 Joules
Therefore, the work done on the box is 250 Joules.
