work = force x Distance so any force is supplied to move an object is work.

Push a box and the box moves.

What is an example of positive work being done in physics?

One example of positive work being done in physics is the development of renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to address climate change and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.


What is the unit for work in physics?

The unit for work in physics is the joule (J).


What are the example of work in the contex of science?

In physics, work is equal to force times distance W=F*D Work is basically moving an object parallel to its acceleration. For example, holding an object above the ground is not work, since there object has not moved. An example of work is moving a book, an object at free fall, etc.

Why maths is important to science?

Physics requires maths, to work out the force of something. and for example if you have the time it takes an item to arrive as well as the distance you can work out the speed

What are the uses of equations?

They are very important in many areas such as maths and physics. They are used to work out unknown's. For example in physics if you know the current through a circuit, and the total resistance, and you need to find out the voltage, you can use the equation: Voltage= current * resistance, to work out.


What is the formula for calculating total work in physics?

The formula for calculating total work in physics is: Work Force x Distance.


Can torque have a negative value in physics?

Yes, torque can have a negative value in physics. Torque is vector energy. Torque is the vector analogue of Work involving force (F) and displacement (D) vectors and the angle (FD). For example Work W = -F.D= -|FD|cos(FD) and Toque T = FxD =|FD|sin(FD). Torque can be negative dependent on the sine(FD). Work and torque is an example of the quaternion nature of physics; for example Quaternion energy E = FD = -F.D + FxD, the real energy is called work F.D and the vector energy is called torque, FxD.


How physics work?

Physics doesn't really "work". What it does is "describe" - it describes the way our world works, as far as we know.


Is pushing a child on a swing an example of work?

Yes, pushing a child on a swing is an example of work in physics because it involves applying force over a distance to accomplish a task (moving the swing). This work is done against gravity and friction to overcome resistance and create motion.
