When an object is pushed by a force and moves in the direction of the force, work is done on the object. The amount of work equals the force times the distance (W = Eg).
A small particle is pushed by a force of 2.6x10-4 newtons over a distance of 3.7x10-3 meters.
How much work was done on the particle?
Express the answer to the correct number of significant figures and in proper scientific
notation.
The force did 10 newton-meters of work on the particle.
