  • Work and Force: Understanding Zero Displacement
    If the force is 5 Newtons and the displacement is zero, then no work is done.

    Here's why:

    * Work is defined as the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

    * Formula: Work (W) = Force (F) x Displacement (d)

    * In this case, d = 0, so W = 5 Newtons x 0 = 0 Joules

    Example: Imagine pushing against a wall. You exert force, but the wall doesn't move. Since there is no displacement, no work is done.
