Work done quantifies the amount of energy spent by a force acting over a certain
distance
.
True
The force and the
distance
must be in the same direction for the formula to be valid.
True
Displacement is the total distance traveled by an object, regardless of direction.
False
If a force of 50 N is used to push a box 2 meters, the work done is
100
J.
Match the scenario with its force and displacement values:
Pushing a box ↔️ 50 N and 2 m
Lifting a weight ↔️ 100 N and 1.5 m
Pulling a sled ↔️ 75 N and 3 m
W
W
W
represents the work done, measured in Joules
Match the variables in the work done formula with their units:
W

↔️ Meters (m)
How much work is done when pushing a box with a force of 50 N over a distance of 2 meters?
100 J
Negative work occurs when force and displacement are in the same direction
False
The negative sign in the negative work formula indicates that energy is being
removed
Negative work
reduces the overall work done.
True
In positive work, the formula is
W
=
W =

d
F \times d

d
, while in negative work, it is W = - F \times d</latex> and energy is removed from the system.
Work done is the ability to do energy.
False
What is the unit of both work done and energy?
Joules (J)
When you push a box across the floor, you are doing work, which transfers some of your body's
kinetic
energy to the box.
Work done in physics is the energy transferred when a force moves an object through a
distance
Match the quantity with its unit of measurement:
Work done ↔️ Joules
Force ↔️ Newtons
Distance ↔️ Meters
If a force of 50 N is used to push a box 2 meters, the work done is
100
J.
Work done is calculated using the formula

True
Force is the effort that changes the
state
of motion of an object.
True
To calculate work done, you need to know the force applied and the
distance
moved.
The work done is measured in
Joules
(J).
True
The formula to calculate work done is W =
F
\times d</latex>
True
d

d
represents the distance over which the force is applied, measured in meters
The work done in each scenario can be calculated by plugging the force and distance values into the formula

If you push a box 2 meters forward and it slides back 1 meter, what is the net displacement?
1 meter
Match the type of work with its direction:
Positive Work ↔️ Force and displacement in same direction
Negative Work ↔️ Force and displacement in opposite directions
What is an example of negative work being done?
Box sliding back
Energy is the ability to do
work
Work done is a process, while
energy
is a property.
