Moving
Holding
Reworking

[MrChucklepuff]

So if I push a class 1 lever down and the object goes up is that not considered work? The video says the object must go in the same direction as the force.

[christruternieuwoudt]

What if I use a pulley to make an object move? The direction of the applied force is different from the movement of the object. Does that mean that no work is being done?

[wwahyyy]

can you make a video on work and relation to phyics term of " power " >?

[thispersonrighthere]

which of the following definitions is correct:

1. work is the *action* of applying a force to an object which causes it to move over a distance in the direction of the force.

2. work is the *result of the action* of applying a force to an object which causes it to move over a distance in the direction of the force.

basically, what i'm asking is whether or not work is the action itself, or the _result_ of the action.
