Question
Two students push a dune buggy $35.0 \mathrm{~m}$ across a lot. The force required is $825 \mathrm{~N}$. How much work is done?
Step 1
The work done (W) on an object when a force (F) is applied to it is given by the product of the force and the distance (s) over which the force is applied. Mathematically, this is represented as: \[ W = F \times s \] Show more…

It takes a force of 825 N to push a car through terrain. Two students push the car 35 m. a. How much work is done? b. After a storm, the force needed to push the car doubles. In what How much does the work done by the students change?
Together, two students exert a force of $825 \mathrm{N}$ in pushing a car a distance of $35 \mathrm{m}$ a. How much work do the students do on the car? b. If the force was doubled, how much work would they do pushing the car the same distance?
