Work done and direction

Work done and direction

Angled pulling force on a box showing the horizontal component that does work

Work done is the energy transferred when a force makes its point of application move through a displacement. For a constant force parallel to the motion, W=FsW = FsW=Fs, so 1 J=1 N m1 \, \text{J} = 1 \, \text{N m}1J=1N m.

Work, energy and power Lesson

  2. /Physics
  3. /Work, energy and power

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A Level Physics Work, energy and power for A Level Physics. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
