Work Done - A Level Physics

This video introduces and explains work done for A Level Physics.

Generally, the work done equation is given as: work done = force x distance, W = Fs. More specifically, work done = force applied x distance in the direction of the force. If a constant force causes an object to move, then we say that the force is doing work (mechanical work) on that object. If the force is not parallel to the direction of movement, then we need to resolve the force into its components.

Thanks for watching,

Well, that's my work done for the day.

Think the young presenter has a gret future ahead of him

Thank you so much for this video. I was genuinely confused in my Physics lesson as my teacher was over complicating things and didn't explain it well enough for me to fully understand.
Thanks to you, i understand this better

[jananisatkurunathan]

Thank you so much for your videos - they are so helpful. I am a teacher and my biggest regret in life is not doing A level Physics but I could not find any textbooks that made it easy for me to understand. Without your videos, I would not have been able to increase my Physics knowledge.

Also sorry one question - please can you explain where you got cos theta from? I do not understand.

[furywasrobbed]

So please can you tell me what displacement we need. Is it the hypotenuse? Or the vertical? Or horizontal?

[hamzasaleh]

If a question asks to calculate the resistive force how would I go about it

[junng]

Is typing on a computer keyboard considered work in a physics sense?
