Work

What is work?

How is work done?

How are force,
work and energy
related?
FORCE
FORCE

Direction of Motion
 Work is done on an
object when the force
applied to it covers a
distance in the
direction of the applied
force.
Question:

•Is there work

done? Why?
Answer:

• Work is done if the object

you push moves a distance
in the direction towards
which you are pushing it.
Question:

•Is there work

done? Why?
Answer:

• No work is done if
the force you exert
does not make the
object move.
Question:

•Is there work

done? Why?
 Answer:
• No work is done if the force
you exert does not make
the object move in the
same direction as the
force you exerted.
Is there Work
Done?
The work is done by the girl on the
cart. The force exerted by the girl in
pulling the toy car is in the same
direction as the distance covered
when the force is applied.
The work is done by the man on the
box. The force exerted by the man is
upward and the box is displaced
upward.
the situation is not an example of work. There is
force (the shoulder pushes up the bag) and
there is displacement (the bag is moved
horizontally). However, the line of action of the
force and the displacement are not parallel but
perpendicular. The distance covered is not along
the direction of the applied force.
The situation is an example of
work. The work is done by the
force of gravity on the mango.
