What is the formula for work when the force and displacement vectors are constant?
What is the formula for work when the force and displacement vectors are constant?
- $W = |F||s|\cos(\theta)$ (correct)
- $W = |F||s|\sin(\theta)$
- $W = |F| + |s| + \theta$
- $W = |F| - |s| - \theta$
When does a force do negative work?
When does a force do negative work?
- When it has a component in the same direction as the displacement at the point of application
- When it has no component in the direction of the displacement at the point of application
- When it has a variable magnitude
- When it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application (correct)
