What do you think? List five examples of things you have done in the last year that
you would consider work. Based on these examples, how do you define work?

Work In physics, work is the magnitude of the force (F) times the
magnitude of the displacement (d) in the same direction as the force.
W = Fd What are the SI units for work?
Force units (N) x distance units (m) N•m are also called joules (J).
How much work is 1 joule? Lift an apple weighing about 1 N from the floor to the
desk, a distance of about 1 m.

Work
• Pushing this car is work because F and d are in the same direction.
• Why aren’t the following tasks considered work?– A student holds a heavy chair at arm’s
length for several minutes.– A student carries a bucket of water along
a horizontal path while walking at a constant velocity.

WorkHow would you calculate the work in this case?What is the component of F in the direction of d?
• F cos
– If the angle is 90°, what is the component of F in the direction of d?
• F cos 90° = 0– If the angle is 0°, what is the
component of F in the direction of d?• F cos 0° = F

Work is a Scalar Work can be
positive or negative but does not have a direction.
What is the angle between F and d in each case?

Classroom Practice Problem A 20.0 kg suitcase is raised 3.0 m above a
platform. How much work is done on the suitcase?
Answer: 5.9 x 102 J or 590 J
