Question
As you throw a ball, you exert a force on that ball of 4.2 N. You exert this force on the ball while the ball moves a distance of 0.50 m. The ball then leaves your hand and travels a horizontal distance of 8.5 m to your friend. How much work have you done on the ball?

Answer:
The work done is
Wd=2.1 joule
N/B work done is the product of force and the applied distance
Explanation:
We know that the work done expressed Mathematically as
Wd =F*d
Where Wd=work done
F=force exerted
d=distance within which the force was exerted
Given from the statement
Force =4.2N
Distance =0.5m
Note we did not use 8.5 m because the force was no longer in application
Hence
Wd=4.2*0.5
Wd=2.1 joule
