Work Sandwich
1. **State the problem:** Calculate the work done by a force of 2.4 N pushing a sandwich across a table 0.75 m wide.
2. **Identify the given values:**
- Force, $F = 2.4$ N
- Distance, $d = 0.75$ m
- Mass of sandwich, $m = 400$ g (not directly needed for work calculation as work depends on force and distance)
3. **Recall the formula for work:**
$$ W = F imes d imes \cos(\theta) $$
Assuming the force is applied in the direction of movement, $\theta = 0$ degrees, so $\cos(0) = 1$.
4. **Calculate work:**
$$ W = 2.4 \times 0.75 \times 1 = 1.8 \, \text{Joules} $$
5. **Final answer:**
The work done by the force pushing the sandwich is $1.8$ Joules.
