We’re going to learn how to calculate the amount of work done by forces by looking at how the force acts on the object, and if it causes a displacement. Have you spotted the three things you need to know in order to calculate the work done?


  • Force
  • Displacement
  • Angle between the force and displacement vector (called theta)

The easiest way to do this is to show you by working a set of physics problems. So take out your notebook and a pencil, and do these problems right along with me. Here we go!
