I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance

so...

Force = work / distance

Distance = work / force

So, no. You had it backwards.

What does work divided by force equal?

distance


What is the equation for force using work?

Force that did the work = (work done) divided by (distance the force acted through)


What is output work divided by output force?

Output distance is.


How do you find power from force distance time and work?

Power = (work) divided by (time) If you don't know the amount of work, you can calculate it. Work = (force) times (distance).


What does force divided by distance equal?

Work is force times distance. A Force divided by Distance: looking at the units, Force = newtons = kg m / s^2 = mass x length / time^2 so ML/T^2 Distance = m = length so L Force/Distance = (ML/T^2)/L = ML/LT^2 = M/T^2 So the units of a force divided by distance are mass/ time^2 This would be the rate of change of mass change with respect to time.


What formula do you need to solve for distance if given foce and work?

The formula for finding work is: Work = force X distance. To find distance, you must divide both sides by force. After simplifying the equation, the new equation will read: distance = work divided by force


I understand distance divided by time is the formula to calculate work How can I show an example to apply the formula?

Work is not defined as distance/time, but rather: work= force x distance Distance divided by time will give you velocity. Displacement (or distance traveled) = velocity x time


How can you tell if a force you exert is doing work?

by pushing. or you can use a machine that makes your work easier


If the formula to calculate work is distance divided by time how do you apply the formula?

You would have a very tough time, because that isn't the formula to calculate work. (distance) divided by (time) is the formula to calculate speed. The formula to calculate work is: (force) multiplied by (distance).


How is the word 'power' defined in physics?

Power is the rate of performing work on an object. Mathematically, power = work divided by time =force x distance divided by time.


Force moved through a distance?

Force moved through a distance is work. Work = Force x Distance


A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?

Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance.
