  • How does work done against friction affect an object's energy?
    It converts mechanical energy into thermal energy
  • What is the relationship between work done and the displacement of an object?
    Work done is directly related to displacement
  • What is the effect of a force acting on an object in terms of work done?
    It causes displacement and transfers energy
