What is the physics definition of work? How is work calculated? How would you calculate the amount of work done in a slapshot.

1) Work is a measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. 2) Work is calculated through joules. 3) It's possible to calculate work by multiplying the amount of force applied by the distance that the force is applied. If we know the amount of force the stick applies to the puck and the distance that the stick is applying the force to the puck, we can figure out the amount of work done.

u=13

v=30

s/t=u+1\2at

=13+431/2

=13+265.5

=278.5
