Final answer:

The work done on an object by a 55 newton force over a distance of 10 meters in the same direction as the force is 550 joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done on an object is calculated by the formula Work = Force × Distance × cos(θ), where θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.

For a force applied in the same direction as the motion, the angle θ is 0 degrees, and the cosine of 0 degrees is 1.

Hence, in this case, the work done on the object is simply the product of the force applied and the distance over which it is applied.

Given a 55 newton force and a displacement of 10 meters in the same direction, the work done on the object is:

Work = 55 N × 10 m × cos(0°)

= 55 N × 10 m × 1

= 550 joules
