How much work was done? Work = Answer the essential question
Work Work: a force and a distance in the same direction. If the object does not move, NO work is done! (Scientifically speaking)

Work Calculating Work Formula: Work = Force x Distance Work units = Joules (J) Force units = Newtons (N) Distance units = meters (m)
Work Example: A bowler uses 500N of force to roll a ball 40m down the bowling alley. How much work was done? Work = 500N x 40m Work = 20,000 Joules
