Question

Define work.Is work a scalar quantity or a vector quantity?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Work is the outcome of the force and displacement caused by the body. Force and displacement are vector quantities (they have both magnitude and direction) and the dot product of two vector quantites always gives a scalar quantity. So work has only magnitude but not direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Work is the outcome of the force and displacement caused by the body. Force and displacement are vector quantities (they have both magnitude and direction) and the dot product of two vector quantites always gives a scalar quantity. So work has only magnitude but not direction.
