To calculate the work done during the kick, you can use the formula for work:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta) \]
where:
- Work is the amount of energy transferred by the force.
- Force is the force applied.
- Distance is the distance over which the force is applied.
- \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.
In this scenario, the player kicks the ball with a force of 1,000 N over a distance of 0.2 m. We will assume that the force is applied in the same direction as the movement of the ball, which means \( \theta = 0^\circ \) and \( \cos(0) = 1\).
Plugging in the values:
\[ \text{Work} = 1,000 , \text{N} \times 0.2 , \text{m} \times 1 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Work} = 1,000 \times 0.2 = 200 , \text{Joules} \]
Thus, the work done during the kick is approximately 200 Joules.
