A force of 12 N acts on a 2.0 kg object through a parallel distance of 1.5 m. How much work is done on the object?

Work is = Force x Distance Work = 12N * 1.5 m = 24 Nm
Work done = 24 Joules.

It is given that :
Mass of an object is, m = 2 kg
Force acting on the object, F = 12 N
Parallel distance, d = 1.5 m
Work done by an object is given by the product of force and distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by:
W = F. d
W = 12 N × 1.5 m
W = 18 Joules
Hence,the work done by the object is 18 joules.

The work done on the object is 18 joules, calculated using the formula W = F ⋅ d . By substituting the values for force (12 N) and distance (1.5 m), we find that W = 12 N ⋅ 1.5 m = 18 J . This indicates that energy is transferred to the object as it moves along the distance.
