What to Focus On

  • Work is done only when force produces displacement.
  • W = F·d is the vector form of work.
  • W = F cosθ · s gives work at an angle.

  • Power is the rate of doing work.
  • P = W/t is the basic formula of power.
  • P = F × v when force and velocity are in the same direction.

  • Energy is the capacity to do work.
  • Work and energy have the same units.
  • 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10^6 J.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Work is done whenever a force acts on a body, even if the body does not move.

A coolie carrying a load on a level platform does work against gravity.

Work done depends only on force, not on the angle between force and displacement.

Memory Tips

Definition of work

Zero work when there is no displacement

Work formula in vector form and at an angle

Positive work when force and displacement are in the same direction
