Front

What unit is work measured in?

Joules (J)

Front

What is the definition of work in physics?

Back

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force.

Front

If a force of 5 Newtons is applied to move an object 10 meters, how much work is done?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between Newtons and Joules?

Back

1 Joule = 1 Newton x 1 meter

Front

In which scenario is work being done?

Back

When a person pushes a box across the floor.

Front

What happens to the work done if the distance is doubled while the force remains constant?

Back

The work done is also doubled.

Front

If no movement occurs, is work done?

Back

No, work is only done when there is movement in the direction of the force.

Front

What is an example of a situation where no work is done despite applying force?

Back

Pushing against a wall without moving it.

Front

How much work is done if a 10-pound box is lifted 3 feet?

Back

Work = Force x Distance (Convert pounds to Newtons for calculation).
