Work

• Work occurs on an object when

1)  the object moves some distance as a result of your force

     AND

2)  the force you exert is in the same direction as the object’s motion.

• Quantifying Work

1)  Work = Force x Distance. (W = FD)

2)  The SI unit of measure for work is the joule (J).

3)  1J = 1N x 1m
