Answer:

WORK DONE ON A BODY IS THE PRODUCT OF FORCE IN THE DIRECTION OF DISPLACEMENT AND DISPLACEMENT.

WORK ONLY HAS MAGNITUDE AND NO DIRECTION.

FORCE applied IN the direction of displacement × displacement = POSITIVE WORK DONE

FORCE applied OPPOSITE to the direction of displacement × displacement = NEGATIVE WORK DONE

FORCE applied PERPENDICULAR to the direction of displacement × displacement = ZERO WORK DONE

hope it helps

have a nice day

The formula for work done is:


w=Fd

work(measured in joules) = force(measured in newtons) * distance(measured in meters)
