Answer 1

To calculate the work done during the kick, you can use the formula for work:

\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]

In this scenario, the force applied is 1,000 newtons and the distance over which the force is applied is 0.2 meters. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Work} = 1,000 , \text{N} \times 0.2 , \text{m} = 200 , \text{joules} \]

Therefore, the amount of work done during the kick is 200 joules. The correct response is:

200 joules.
