Answer 1

To calculate the work done by a person on the box, we need to multiply the force applied by the distance over which the force is applied.

In this case, the person applies a force of 400 newtons and pushes the box for a distance of 4 meters. Therefore, the work done by the person is:

Work = Force x Distance
Work = 400 N x 4 m
Work = 1600 joules

So, the correct answer is 1,600 joules.
