Define Work Done

Answer 1

The product of the Force applied and the distance moved in the direction of the Force
Equation:
Work Done= Force x distance moved in the direction of the Force
= F x s
Units= N x m= Nm= J(Joule)
*1J is the work done when a Force of 1N moves on an object a distance of 1m in the direction of the Force

Question 2

Answer 2

1. A force must APPLIED
