The amount of work done on an object depends on the amount of force exerted on the object and the amount of distance the object moves. Work = Force x Distance According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force on an object is dependent on the mass of the object, and its acceleration during the movement.
Work Done Against Gravity. Suppose you lift a book (which weighs 10 Newtons) at constant velocity through a vertical distance of 1 meter, as shown at left. You have to exert a force of 10 Newtons to lift the book (Newton's First Law), so the work you do is: Work you = Fd = (10 N)(1 m) = 10 Joules.
