Quiz
Equation of Work
W=F„d = (Fcosθ)d
Define Work
Scalar
Work is positive if
the force, or a component of force, acts in the same direction as the displacement
Work is negative if
a force, or a component of force, acts in the opposite direction of displacement
No work if
force is perpendicular to displacement, or if there is no displacement
