In science, when a force moves an object, it’s called work. scientists use the term to describe the amount of force applied to an object that moves that object. work is measured in a unit called joules using the formula w = fd. in this formula, w is the work, f is the force in newtons, and d is the distance over which the force is applied in meters. if applying 6 newtons of force to an object results in 42 joules of work, what distance (in meters) would the object travel? 252 meters 36 meters 14 meters 7 meters
