What is the unit for work?
Remember, it's also used for energy.
If no displacement occurs, is work done?
Think about the definition of work.
A car is pushed with a force of 500 N at an angle of 45° for 10 meters. Calculate the work done on the car.
Use the cosine function to find the effective component of the force.
You exert a force of 300 N on a box, but it only moves 2 meters due to friction acting in the opposite direction. Calculate the work done.
Remember that cos(180°) produces a negative value.
