A force of 5 N acts on a body, moving it 2 m in the direction of the force. What is the work done by the force?

Step-by-step solution

1. Step 1: Identify the magnitude of the force, $F=5,\text{N}$, and the displacement, $d=2,\text{m}$, both along the same direction.
2. Step 2: Use the formula for work done by a constant force: $W=Fd$.
3. Step 3: Substitute the values: $W=5\times 2=10,\text{J}$.
4. Step 4: Conclude that the work done is $10,\text{J}$.
