Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.55 Work, Force, and Distance skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the decreasing force-distance graph. What work is done over the 5 m interval?

A250 J

B500 J

C50 J

D100 J

Solution & Explanation:The graph forms a triangle with base 5 m and height 100 N. Work is the area: 1/2 x 5 m x 100 N = 250 J.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which comparison best illustrates how a small force can do the same work as a large force?

A25 N over 12 m and 100 N over 3 m

B25 N over 12 m and 100 N over 12 m

C25 N over 3 m and 100 N over 12 m

D25 N over 3 m and 100 N over 3 m

Solution & Explanation:Both 25 N x 12 m and 100 N x 3 m equal 300 J. A smaller force can match a larger force if it acts over a longer distance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which measurements are needed to calculate work done by a constant force on an object?

AThe force component in the direction of motion and the distance moved

BThe speed of the object and the classroom length only

CThe object's temperature and the time it moves

DThe object's color and mass

Solution & Explanation:For this skill, W = Fd uses the force along the displacement and the distance moved in that direction.
