If you push a toy car with a force of $5\text{ Newtons}$ and it takes $5\text{ Joules}$ of energy to move it straight ahead by $1\text{ meter}$, the distance covered in the direction of your push is exactly $1\text{ meter}$.

Remember 'Work equals Force times Displacement': $W = F \times s$ (Work is Fast).

Work done ($W$) by a constant force is defined as the scalar product (dot product) of the force vector ($\vec{F}$) and the displacement vector ($\vec{s}$). Mathematically, $W = F s \cos(\theta)$, where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors. Since the motion is in the direction of the applied force, $\theta = 0°$ and $\cos(0°) = 1$, which simplifies the equation to $W = F \times s$. Rearranging gives $s = \frac{W}{F}$.

In competitive exams like RRBALP, always verify the units of work ($\text{Joules} = \text{N}\cdot\text{m}$) before applying simple algebraic formulas like $W = F \times s$.
