    How much force
    A 20 N constant horizontal force is applied to a 5 kg box. As a result, the box moves 10 m to the right. How much work is done by this force?

    Work is calculated as the magnitude of the force being applied times the distance the object moves in the direction of that force. You should get an answer expresed in N-m, otherwise known as Joules.
