Match the following equations with their correct formulas for calculating work done.

• Work done is the product of mass and distance.

• W = F/d

• Work done is the product of force and distance.

• W = F x a

• Work done is the force divided by distance.

• W = F x d

• Work done is the product of force and acceleration.

• W = m x d

You apply a force of 18 N to a dresser and move it 3 m. The work done on the dresser is (a)

• one meter per second

• one newton per second

• one joule per second

Which of the following equations should be used to calculate power if work is not done?

• P = E x t

• P = E/t

• P = F/t

• Power cannot be measured if work is not done.
