What is the definition of work in physics?
Energy transferred by force
The formula for work is
W = Fd cosθ
The work done is measured in
Joules
.
True
What are the three types of work based on the direction of force and displacement?
Positive, negative, zero
Positive work occurs when the angle θ is between 0° and
90°
Negative work occurs when the force opposes the
displacement
.
True
Under what condition is work zero?
Force perpendicular to displacement
Calculate the work done when a force of 10 N is applied over a distance of 2 meters with θ = 0°.
20 J
The variable 'F' in the work formula represents the
force
The angle θ in the work formula is measured in
degrees
.
True
What is an example of positive work?
Pushing a box forward
Negative work is illustrated by friction slowing down a
sliding box
Carrying a suitcase horizontally results in zero work because the force is perpendicular to the displacement.
True
What is the SI unit for work?
Joule
In the work formula, 'd' represents the
displacement

Work is the energy transferred when a force causes displacement.
True
Match the type of work with its direction and example:
Positive Work ↔️ Force aids displacement, Pushing a box forward
Negative Work ↔️ Force opposes displacement, Friction slowing down a box
Zero Work ↔️ Force perpendicular to displacement, Carrying a suitcase horizontally
What is the range of θ for negative work?
90° < θ ≤ 180°</latex>
Zero work is done when the force is perpendicular to the
displacement
.
True
The SI unit for work is the
Joule
1 Joule is equivalent to 1 Newton-meter.
True
Work is defined as the energy transferred when a force causes an object to
move
What is an example of positive work?
Pushing a box forward
Negative work occurs when the force opposes the
displacement
.
True

The SI unit for work is the
Joule
Work is dependent on the magnitude of the force, the distance, and the
alignment
between the force and displacement.
True
How many Newton-meters are equivalent to 1 Joule?
1 N·m
The SI unit for work is the
Joule
1 Joule is equivalent to 1
Newton-meter
.
True
What are the three types of work based on the angle θ between the force and displacement vectors?
Positive, negative, and zero
Match the type of work with its angle range and direction:
Positive work ↔️ 0° ≤ θ < 90°, Force aids displacement
Negative work ↔️ 90° < θ ≤ 180°, Force opposes displacement
Zero work ↔️ θ = 90°, Force perpendicular to displacement
What is the direction of force relative to displacement for positive work?
Same general direction
When the force is perpendicular to the displacement, the
work done
is zero.
True
Work done against gravity is calculated using the formula
W = mgh</latex>
What is the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)?
9.8 m/s²
Work done against gravity increases with the
height
the object is lifted.
True
