Work is being done when?

Which of the following does not require work to be done An increase in?

"Work" is the product of force times distance; so if you apply a force without moving, or if you have a movement without a force, then there is no work involved.


What is the work done if we apply a 1.2N force and move 4m in the direction of force?

Is work being done when someone is sitting on a cushion on the floor?

Well. Work is being done. While sitting down, the person does not apply any force. He lets himself be dragged down by gravity. During this process, the gravitational force is doing the work. The work done by the gravitational force is stored as the potential energy present in the compressed cushion.


What is the work done for a force which is applied gradually?

Work = Force x Distance. So as you gradually apply the force, the work done is gradually increased.


How much work is being done if you apply 25 N of force to move an object 5 meters?

Work = force x distance.So in this case the work done is 25 N x 5 m = 125 joules


Why applying force to an object does not always result in work being done?

When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.


Explain why applying force to an object does not always result in work being done?

When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.


What is needed for work to be done on an object?

As a simplified explanation, work = force x distance. You need to apply a force over a certain distance, for work to be done.


When a book falls from a shelf to the ground without anyone pushing it Is work is being done on the book?

Work is being done by the force of gravity. When the book falls to the floor, there's a force on it, and the force keeps acting on it as it covers the distance. A force acting through a distance is the definition of work. Maybe there's nobody pushing the book, but the force of gravity is pulling it down, and it's the force of gravity that does the work on the book.


When force and motion are going in the same direction is work being done?

When force is opposite to the direction of motion, no work is done. The object to which the force is applied must move in the direction of the force in order for work to be done.
