How torque is vector and work is scalar quantity?

Torque is got by the cross product of two vectors namely force vector and perpendicular radius vector Tau (torque) = r X F But work is got by the scalar product of force vector and displacement vector Hence W = F . S

What does an object need before it can perform work?

In order for work to be done on an object, the object must move some distance as a result of your force.


How is distance and direction affect work?

Work is the product of force and distance, or w = F x d. Now, theoretically, if you push an object 100 yards to the east, and then turn it around and push it 100 yards back to the staring point, you did NO work, because distance has a vector component. But, if you just push it in one direction only, the work done will be the product of the force applied times the distance moved.


The product of force and displacement is?

Work - or energy transferred is the product of force and the distance that the object moves in the direction of the force.


Is work a product of force and distance?

Yes.


Define work in physics?

Work is said to be done by a force if the point of application of the force gets displaced. Work is measured by the product of the force and the displacement component in the direction of the force. Hence W = F s cos @ @ is the angle between the force vector and displacement vector.


Is product of force times distance?
