Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements about work in physics is correct?

  • Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force perpendicular to a displacement.
  • Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force in a random direction.
  • Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force in the opposite direction of a displacement.
  • Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force along a displacement. (correct)

    • When does a force do negative work?

  • When it has a component perpendicular to the direction of the displacement.
  • When it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement. (correct)
  • When it has a component in a random direction.
  • When it has a component in the direction of the displacement.

    • When does a force do positive work?

  • When it has a component in a random direction.
  • When it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement.
  • When it has a component in the direction of the displacement. (correct)
  • When it has a component perpendicular to the direction of the displacement.
