  • Work (Physics): Definition, Formula, and Examples
    Applying a force through a distance is known as work.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Force: A push or pull on an object.

    * Distance: The amount of space an object moves.

    Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. The formula for work is:

    Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

    Key points to remember:

    * Direction matters: Work is only done if the force and the displacement are in the same direction. If the force is perpendicular to the displacement, no work is done.

    * Units: Work is measured in Joules (J).
