Here's a breakdown:
* Force: A push or pull that can change an object's motion.
* Displacement: The change in position of an object.
* Work: The product of the force applied and the distance moved in the direction of the force.
Formula:
Work (W) = Force (F) x Displacement (d)
Key Points:
* Direction matters: Work is only done if the force and displacement are in the same direction. If they are perpendicular, no work is done.
* Units: Work is measured in Joules (J).
* Examples: Lifting a weight, pushing a box, stretching a rubber band, etc.
