Answers are supposed to be distance, yet they're all in joules, wtf. Use W = Fd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please tell me what each letter from that formula stand for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does the "W" stand for work or weight?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Work = Force times distance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I correct?
