Study Notes
Work
- Work is defined as the product of the displacement and the component of the force in the direction of the displacement.
- Formula: W = Fscosθ, where F is force, s is displacement, and θ is the angle between F and s.
- Maximum work occurs when θ = 0°, W = Fs.
- Zero work occurs when θ = 90°, W = 0.
- Work is zero if the displacement is zero or if the force and displacement are perpendicular.
Examples of Zero Work
- Pushing against a wall: no displacement
- Centripetal force along the radius of a circular path: force and displacement are perpendicular.
