Work meaning in physics
Work (Physics): Definition, Formula, How To Calculate (W/ Diagram & Examples)
The standard equation for work is:
\(W=F\cdot d\)
where d is displacement.
Though force and displacement are both vector quantities, their product is a scalar product (also called a dot product). This curiosity is true of other vector quantities that are multiplied together, such as force and velocity, the multiplication of which results in the scalar quantity power.
In other physical situations, the multiplication of vectors produces a vector quantity, known as a cross-product.
The individual forces in a system **F1, F2, F3...
Fn do work with magnitudes equal to F1d1, F2d2, and so on; these individual products, which can include negative as well as positive values, can be summed to give the system's total work**, or net work.
The formula for the net work Wnet done on an object by a net force Fnet is
\(W_{net}=F_{net}\cdot d=F_{net}d\cos{\theta}\)
where θ is the angle between the direction of motion and
