Questions and Answers

In which situation is the work done by the force on the object most positive?

  • When the force is in the opposite direction of the displacement
  • When the angle between the force and displacement is 90 degrees
  • When the angle between the force and displacement is 180 degrees
  • When the force is in the same direction as the displacement (correct)
  • What is the unit of work?

  • Meter (m)
  • Kilogram (kg)
  • Second (s)
  • Newton (N) (correct)
  • Under what condition is work negative for a constant force?

  • $\theta = 0$
  • $\theta = 90°$
  • $90° < \theta ≤ 180°$ (correct)

    Study Notes

    Work and Kinetic Energy

    • Work is done by a force acting on an object when the point of application of that force moves through some distance and the force has a component along the line of motion.

    Work Done by a Constant Force

    • The work done on an object by an agent exerting a constant force is the product of the component of the force in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of the displacement: 𝐖 = 𝐅𝐝
    • The work done by a constant force is also given by: 𝐖 = 𝐅𝐜𝐨𝐬𝛉 𝒅, where 𝛉 is the angle between the force and displacement vectors
    • The sign of the work depends on the direction of F relative to d
    • The unit of work is the Joule (J), which is defined as 𝑵.𝒎 = 𝒌𝒈.𝒎𝟐 /𝒔𝟐

    Kinetic Energy

    • Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses because of its motion
    • Energy is the capacity of an object for performing work
