When you think of doing work you think of school or having a
job. But in physics “work” is a measurement. Work is equal to force times
distance (W=FD). Work is measured in Joules (J), force is measured in newtons,
and distance is measured in meters. A newton is equal to the mass of something
times gravity (N=mg). It is a fairly easy topic to learn. If you have force and
work you can find distance, if you have distance and work then you can find
force and ect. The person in this picture is doing work because the mass of
their finger is going the distance down to the keyboard. So if the mass of his
finger was .4kg and it had to go .1 meters down to the keyboard then the work
that he would have is 0.04 J. W=FD.
