What to Focus On
- Work = force × displacement in the direction of force.
- SI unit of work is joule.
- Work is zero if force is zero or displacement is zero.
- Energy is the capacity to do work.
- Work done on an object equals change in its energy.
- Joule is the SI unit of both work and energy.
- Kinetic energy depends on mass and square of velocity.
- K = 1/2 mv^2.
- If velocity doubles, kinetic energy becomes 4 times.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Work is done whenever a force is applied, even if the object does not move.
If a force acts perpendicular to motion, it still does work.
Pushing harder always means more work, no matter how far the object moves.
Memory Tips
Definition of work
Zero work when force is zero or displacement is zero
Positive and negative work
Force perpendicular to displacement does zero work
