    Answer:

    0 J

    Explanation:

    Work is the dot product of force and displacement.  In other words, it is the force times the distance traveled in the direction of the force.

    W = Fd cos θ

    In this case, the force is vertical and the displacement is horizontal.  So the angle between them is θ = 90°.  The work done is:

    W = (5.0 N) (10.0 m) cos(90°)

    W = 0 J
