To calculate the work done by a constant force, the magnitude of the force must be known.
What else needs to be known to calculate the work done?
| Distance that the force moves the object in the direction of the force | Time for which the force acts on the object | |
|---|---|---|
| A | ✓\checkmark✓ | ✓\checkmark✓ |
| B | ✓\checkmark✓ | ×\times× |
| C | ×\times× | ✓\checkmark✓ |
| D | ×\times× | ×\times× |
where ✓\checkmark✓ = needed, ×\times× = not needed.
