m = about 0.05 kg (50g) for a RW Dwarf with armor.
γ = 0.127 m/s ÷ 1 sec = 0.127 m/s

F=m*γ
0.05 x 0.127 = 0.00635 Newtons (N)

That's about 0.6475 grams.

I got the formula from here.

To find work, multiply the force by the distance.

Distance thrown is probably about 0.3048 meters.
0.00635 x 0.3048 = 0.00193548 joules.

By throwing distance:
0.00635 x 0.1016 = 0.00064516 joules.

Confidence in figure: 6/10

By distance:
The Dwarves are thrown about 0.3048 meters.

0.05 x 9.8˛ x 0.3048 = ~1.46

1.46 = 0.5 x 0.05 x velocity˛
0.5 x 0.05 = 0.025
1.46 ÷ 0.025 = 58.4
Velocity = 58.4 m/s

0.5 x 0.05 x 58.4 = 1.46
1.46 x 1.46 = ~2

2 x 3 = 6 joules.

Confidence in figure: 7/10
