What is the equation for work when a constant force is aligned with the direction of motion?
What is the equation for work when a constant force is aligned with the direction of motion?
- $W = F + d$
- $W = F/d$
- $W = F - d$
- $W = Fd$ (correct)
When does a force do positive work?
When does a force do positive work?
- When it is perpendicular to the displacement
- When it has a component opposite to the displacement
- When it is applied at rest
- When it has a component in the direction of the displacement (correct)
