Yes it can!

In physics work is the number of joules per second that the object or body (assuming large planetary body) uses or emmits per second, work is measured in Watts and it is usually electromagnetic radiation that carries this energy.

Differentiate batween the work done on the body and work done by the body?

note: Work done is = force applied to a body * time taken by the body When we apply a force on to an object such that the object displaced in the direction of force, then some unit of work is done on the body. When a body sets another body into motion by applying a force, in unit time, that body is considered as it had done a unit of work


Can a centripetal force ever do work on an object. explain?

Centripetal force refers to the force that acts on a body moving in a circular path. It does not do work on an object because it acts perpendicular to the motion of the body. The work done on a rotating object is zero.


What is the definition of the word 'work' in physics?

The word 'work' in physics is defined as the transfer of energy from one material body to another. It is a body's displacement in space caused by an external force resulting in motion. If a force is applied but there is no displacement or motion, then no work is done. Also work is not done if a force is applied perpendicular to the body's displacement. Work is expressed in units such as joules or foot-pounds.


How force and energy are related?

Force is the interaction that causes an object to accelerate, while energy is the capacity to do work. When a force acts on an object and causes it to move, work is done and energy is transferred. In this way, force can change the energy of an object by doing work on it.


In order to do work on an object the object must what as a result of your force?

In order to do work on an object, the object must move in the direction of the force applied. If the object does not move, no work is being done on the object.

How is work and enegry related?

Work and energy are related in the sense that work is the process of transferring energy from one system to another. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to that object, either increasing its kinetic energy (if the work is done against friction) or potential energy. The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.


Is work done if an object does not move?

No, work is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. If the object does not move, then work is not done on the object.


What is the work that the machine does on an object called?

The work that a machine does on an object is called mechanical work. It is the transfer of energy from the machine to the object, resulting in a change in the object's state or position.


What is the difference in the work to move the object and the work you do?

The work required to move an object is the amount of energy transferred to the object to change its position. The work you do is the amount of energy you transfer to the object by applying a force to move it. The two are related, with the work done being equal to the work required to move the object.


How does doing work on an object change its energy?

When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to or from the object, changing its energy. If work is done on an object, its energy increases; if work is done by an object, its energy decreases. The change in energy of an object is equal to the work done on it.


When can you say that work is done on an object?

when a force acts to move an object,we say that work was done on the object
