The document discusses work problems involving boxes being pushed and carts accelerating. It asks the reader to calculate the work done by moving a 7kg box 13m that then fell 350m, and to find the work done by a cart that displaced 17m while accelerating at 2 m/s^2 with a mass of 12kg. It also provides brief definitions of energy as the ability to do work by exerting a force over a displacement, and kinetic energy as the energy an object has due to its motion which requires work to accelerate it by applying a force.
