Which of the following statements about work in physics is correct?
- Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force at an angle to the displacement.
- Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force along the displacement. (correct)
- Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force in the opposite direction of the displacement.
- Work is the energy transferred to an object via the application of force perpendicular to the displacement.
When does a force do positive work?
When does a force do positive work?
- When the force is applied in the opposite direction of the displacement.
- When the force is applied at an angle to the displacement.
- When the force is applied perpendicular to the displacement.
- When the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement. (correct)
