Question

Define 1 joules. Give example where the work done by a force is zero.​

Answer 1

The SI unit for work and energy is the joule (J), where 1 J = 1 N ⋅ m = 1 kg ⋅ m2/s2. The work done by a force is zero if the displacement is either zero or perpendicular to the force. The work done is positive if the force and displacement have the same direction, and negative if they have opposite direction.

1) A simple example of zero work is when you stand holding a bag in your hands and do not move it. Your hands apply a force on the bag to balance the force of gravity exerted on it but since there is no displacement of the bag, the work done on it by you (your force) and also the gravity is zero

Answer 2

Answer:

Joule is the SI unit of work.

1 Joule is amount of work done when a force of 1 Newton displaces a body through a distance of 1m in the direction of the force applied.
