Work

Front

What is work in physics?

Back

Work is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating work?

Back

Work done = Force x Distance.

Front

If a force of 50 N moves an object 3 m, how much work is done?

Back

150 J (Work = 50 N x 3 m).

Front

What unit is work measured in?

Back

Joules (J).

Front

Is work done when carrying an object at a constant height?

Back

No, work is not done because there is no movement in the direction of the force (gravity).

Front

What is the relationship between work and energy?

Back

Work done on an object results in a change in energy of that object.

Front

What is an example of work being done?

Back

Lifting a box off the ground.

Front

What is not considered work in physics?

Back

Pushing against a stationary object.

Front

If you push a cart with a force of 60 N for 2 m, how much work have you done?

Back

120 J (Work = 60 N x 2 m).

Front

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

Back

The work done is also doubled.
