All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.

Why a man lifting a box to be placed on a table is work?

In physics, work is performed when a force is applied to an object and causes it to move in the direction of the force. In this scenario, the man lifting the box is applying a force to move the box upwards against the force of gravity. The work done is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance the box is lifted.


What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?

When the only force affecting an objects is gravity that object is an?

When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".


When gravity is the only force acting on an object. it is in what?

What condition work is said to be done?

Work is said to be done when a force is applied to an object and the object moves in the direction of the force. Work, in a scientific context, is the product of force and the distance over which the force is applied.

What is it when there is no net force of gravity?

When there is no net force of gravity, all the opposing forces of gravity cancel out. For example, most of the way to the moon, the gravity pulling from the moon would cancel out the gravity from the Earth. At that point, there would be no net force of gravity. KEEP IN MIND, that this is something very different from the weightless feeling you get when falling. When falling, gravity still affects you (hence you accelerate downwards). If there is no net force of gravity, gravity will not affect you at all.
