The net force acting on a 12.6-kg object is given by Fx = (8 - x) N, where Fx is in newtons and x is in meters. How much work is done on the object as it moves from x = 0 to x = 6 m?

A force F of strength 20 N acts on an object of mass 3 kg as it moves a distance of 4 m. If F is perpendicular to the 4 m displacement, the work it does is equal to (A) 0 J (B) 60 J (C) 80 J (D) 600 J
