Which of the is the equation for calculating work?

• W = Fd

• W = ma

• W = mv

• W = mc²

Work is defined as applying a force on an object that displaces the object in the direction of the applied force. Which of the following IS NOT an an example of work being done on an object?

• A waiter walking with a tray of food that he is holding with his hand under the tray.

• A horse pulling a plow through a field.

• A shopper pushing a cart down the aisle of a grocery sture.

• A weightlifter lifting a barbell above his head.

An instance where a force hinders a displacement is called __________________ work.

• negative

• false

• faux

• opposite

Negative work means that energy is being removed from the object.

• True

• False

An object is speeding up when: (Choose All That Apply)

• it is gaining kinetic energy.

• it is losing kinetic energy.

• it is gaining gravitational potential energy.

• it is losing gravitational potential energy.
