Work done is defined as the energy transferred by applying a force over a
displacement
.
True
Force is measured in Newtons (N) and displacement in
meters (m)
.
True
Lifting a 1 kg book 1 meter upward requires approximately
10 Joules
of work.
True
Match the concept with its definition:
Work Done ↔️ Energy transferred by force causing displacement
Force ↔️ The push or pull acting on an object
Displacement ↔️ The change in position of an object
What is a force defined as in physics?
A push or pull
What is the formula for calculating work done?
Work done = Force × Distance
What is the standard unit for measuring work done?
Joule
Positive work is done when force and displacement are in the same
direction
What is the definition of work done in physics?
Energy transferred by a force
Potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is the energy of
motion
Steps to solve work done calculations:
1️⃣ Identify the force value in Newtons
2️⃣ Identify the displacement value in meters
3️⃣ Apply the formula: Work done = Force × Displacement
4️⃣ Calculate the work done in Joules
What two factors does the amount of work done depend on?
Force and displacement
Work done is directly proportional to both force and
displacement
.
True
What are two types of energy mentioned in the context?
Potential and kinetic
What happens to an object's energy when positive work is done on it?
Increases
One Joule is equivalent to one
Newton-meter
.
True
What is the capacity to do work called?
Energy
What is the definition of work done in physics?
Energy transferred by a force
Work done is a specific instance of
energy transfer
, whereas energy is a more general concept.
True
Force is measured in
Newtons
In the work done formula, 'm' stands for
meters
Negative work is done when force and displacement are in
opposite
What does work done in physics refer to?
Energy transferred by force
Match the concept with its unit:
Work done ↔️ Joules (J)
Force ↔️ Newtons (N)
Displacement ↔️ Meters (m)
What is the formula for calculating work done?
Force × Displacement
What is positive work done?
Force and displacement same direction
What is the work done if a force of 50 N is applied to move an object 5 m?
250 Joules
Displacement
refers to the change in the position of an
object
Match the concept with its symbol and unit:
Work done ↔️ W, Joules (J)
Force ↔️ F, Newtons (N)
Distance ↔️ s, Meters (m)
1 Joule is equal to 1 Newton multiplied by 1
meter
.
True
Negative work decreases the energy of an object.
True
Describe an example of positive work being done in everyday life.
Lifting a barbell during exercise
What is the relationship between work done, force, and displacement?
Work done = Force × Displacement
What is work done in physics defined as?
Energy transferred by force
Positive work is done when the force and displacement are in the same
direction
Examples of work done include lifting a weight or climbing
stairs
Work done is defined as the energy transferred by a
force
over a displacement.
Match the type of work with its effect on energy:
Positive Work ↔️ Increases energy
Negative Work ↔️ Decreases energy
Energy is defined as the capacity to do
work
Order the following real-life applications of work done based on increasing kinetic energy:
1️⃣ Climbing stairs
2️⃣ Pushing a cart
3️⃣ Riding a bike
