What to Focus On

  • Work requires both force and displacement in the direction of force
  • No displacement means no work done (pushing a wall)
  • No force means no work done (object moving at constant velocity on frictionless surface)

  • SI unit of work is joule (J) = newton-meter (N⋅m)
  • 1 J = work done by 1 N force over 1 m distance
  • Positive work: force and displacement in same direction

  • Energy is the capacity to do work
  • Energy possessed = Total work the body can perform
  • Same unit as work: joule (J)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Work is done whenever force is applied, regardless of whether the object moves

A person carrying a heavy bag while walking horizontally does work against gravity

Kinetic energy depends on force applied to an object

Memory Tips

Work is force times displacement in direction of force

Work formula W = F × d × cos θ

SI unit of work and energy is Joule (J)

Kinetic Energy formula KE = (1/2)mv²
