A soccer player kicks a ball, applying a force of 1,000 newtons over a distance of 0.2 meter. The ball travels 50 meters down the field before another player stops the ball. How much work in joules was done during the kick?

Answer 1

The work done during the kick can be calculated using the formula:

Work = Force × Distance

Given:
Force = 1,000 newtons
Distance = 0.2 meters

Work = 1,000 newtons × 0.2 meters
Work = 200 joules

Therefore, 200 joules of work were done during the kick.
