šŸ“Œ Understanding Work Done

Work done is the energy transferred when a force is applied to an object over a displacement. It is calculated using:

Work (W) = Force (F) Ɨ Displacement (d) Ɨ cos(Īø)

The unit of work is **Joule (J)**.

ā“ FAQs

Q1: How do I calculate work done?
āœ… Work done is calculated using **W = F Ɨ d Ɨ cos(Īø)**, where F is force, d is displacement, and Īø is the angle between force and displacement.

Q2: What are the SI units of work?
āœ… Work is measured in **Joules (J)**, where 1 Joule equals 1 Newton-meter (NĀ·m).

Q3: Can work be negative?
āœ… Yes, work is negative when the force applied is opposite to the displacement direction, meaning energy is removed from the system.

Q4: How can I calculate force if work and displacement are known?
āœ… If work done and displacement are known, force can be calculated as **F = W / (d Ɨ cos(Īø))**.

Q5: What happens when force and displacement are perpendicular?
āœ… If force and displacement are perpendicular, cos(90°) = 0, meaning no work is done.
