Question:- If an object is pushed twice as far while applying the same force, the work done will be.

Answer

When the object is pushed through a distance that is twice as much as the distance of the initial push through the application of the same amount of force, the work done will be double that of the original amount.

The scientist gave the mathematical definition of work as force multiplied by distance or force that is applied as measured in the direction of displacement of an object. If the force applied stays steady, then, the amount of work is directly proportional to the distance covered. That is, if the displacement increases and the force of movement does not change, the work done will increase twice. This relationship follows from the equation: According to Newton’s second law of motion Newton states that ‘’Work is defined as the force exerted on an object multiplied by the distance through which it has travelled’’ For instance, work done is equal to the force of 10 Newton acting through 2 meters displacements; therefore, it is 20 Joules (10 N × 2 m = 20 J). If the same force which is 10 N is used to displace the object by 4 meters the amount of work done is 40 Joule (10 N × 4 m) twice that of the previous example.
