Questions and Answers

What is work in physics?

  • The energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement (correct)
  • The force applied to an object
  • The weight of an object
  • The distance traveled by an object
  • When does a force do positive work?

  • When it is applied vertically
  • When it is applied horizontally
  • When it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application (correct)
  • When it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application
  • What is the unit of work in the SI system?

  • Coulomb (C)
  • Joule (J) (correct)
  • Newton (N)
  • Watt (W)
  • How is work calculated when the force and the angle between the force and the displacement are constant?
