To calculate the amount of work done, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
Given that the force applied is 12 newtons and the distance moved is 4 meters, you can substitute these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = 12 \, \text{N} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 48 \, \text{J} \]
Therefore, the amount of work performed by the student to move the box is **48 J**.
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
