Question

Work occurs when

A. an applied force results in movement of an object in the same direction as the applied force
B. an object is subjected to balanced forces resulting in movement of the object
C. the energy present is the result of the force acting on the object
D. the movement of the object was caused by a force and is in the opposite direction of the force

Answer 1

Work occurs when an applied force results in movement of an object in the same direction as the applied force.

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object. The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work.

Answer 2

The answer is A. an applied force results in movement of an object in the same direction as the applied force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is the product of a force applied to a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of this force, that is, a force performs a work when there is a displacement of its point of application in the direction of that force. The work of the force on that body will be equivalent to the energy needed to move it.
