The net vertical force on a box F as a function of the vertical position y is shown below.

W = 0 J

Explanation:

Formula for work done is;

W = F × d

Where;

W is work done

F is Force

d is distance covered

What this means is that we will calculate the area under which the given times in the graph pass.

Thus;

At constant force of F = 40 N which falls in between distance of 0 m and 2m,

W1 = 40 × 2 = 80 J

At constant force of -20 n which will fall between distance of 2 m and 6 m which is 4m, we have;

W2 = -20 × 4

W2 = -80 J

Thus, total workdone is;

W = W1 + W2

W = 80 - 80

W = 0 J

explanation:

to push or pull an object in a certain direction is known as force. a force in moving an object from one place to another.

force depends on the mass of an object. so, more is the mass of an object more will be the force required to move the object.

thus, we can conclude that the use of force to move an object is push or pull.
