9th Grade- Chapter 8 & 9 Test Review

Work may be measured using units of:

• watts.

• newtons.

• joules

• newtons per second.

The equation used to calculate work when force is applied to move an object some distance is:

• Work = force + distance

• Work = force ÷ distance

• Work = distance ÷ force

• Work = force × distance
