Key Stage 3
Meaning
Work Done is the amount of energy transferred by the action of a force.
About Work Done
- Work Done is measured in Joules.
- Work Done can only be calculated for objects moving in the direction of the force.
Equation
\[ [[Work Done]] = Force \times Distance moved in the direction of the force\] \[ W = F \times d\] \[ W = Fd\]
- Work done is written with a capital W. Force is written with a capital F. Distance is written with a lower case d.
