Force applied times the distance traveled is work or energy. Think about it...You apply a force to an object, say: push a crate, and you move it a distance. What has been done?? Work. Work is equivalent to energy and is measured in Newton-meters (Nm) or Joules (J).

How work force and distance related?
Work = force x distance traveled (only when the force and distance are acting in the same direction)
How much work is done by a force 10N IN moving an object through a distance 1m in direction of force?
Simply multiply force x distance. This assumes that the force is in the same direction as the movement.
When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
When force is opposite to the direction of motion, no work is done. The object to which the force is applied must move in the direction of the force in order for work to be done.
How does a screwdriver affect the force applied to opening the lid?
it increases the applied force and changed it distance and direction
Why the formula of work done obliquely is F s cos Ө?
Because work done is equal to the force times the distance travelled IN THE DIRECTION of the force. Distance travelled in an oblique direction can be decomposed into two components: s*cos(x) in the direction of the force and s*sin(x) in a direction perpendicular to it (where x is the angle between the force and the resultant motion). Motion in a perpendicular direction is NOT work done by the force, which leaves s*cos(x). Multiply by the force (as required) and you have your answer.

What is force times distance traveled?
work
Is there any difference in the work done as you change the force or the distance traveled?
Work is basically the product of force and distance traveled, so if any of the two (force, distance) change, the work will change as well.
If you have a force acting on an object for a certain period of time how can you find the distance traveled?
There are two ways to find the distance traveled. One is to measure the distance traveled. The other is to measure the distance raveled within a certain amount of time and then multiply to find how far it will travel in the future.
Force is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force is the definition of?
Work is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force.
How much work is done by a force 10N IN moving an object through a distance 1m in direction of force?
Simply multiply force x distance. This assumes that the force is in the same direction as the movement.
What formula do you use to determine the amount of work on an object?
Assuming that force and distance are in the same direction, and the force is constant, you multiply the force times the distance over which the force acts. If they are not in the same direction, you take the dot product. If the force is not constant, you use an integral.
What occurs when force is applied over a curtain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force?
earthquakes
When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?
When force is opposite to the direction of motion, no work is done. The object to which the force is applied must move in the direction of the force in order for work to be done.
What way do force work?
Work is energy, and work done by a force equals force times distance moved IN THE DIRECTION OF THE FORCE
What is the work on an object that has a 20 kg force pushing it over a distance of 2 meters?
Work done=force (N) x distance travelled in the direction of the force
How does the distance traveled in one hour usually compare with the distance traveled in other hours?
In space, everything will keep traveling at the same velocity forever until an outside force, e.g. gravity, acts upon it.
