Unit 5

Force (F) and siplacement (s)

• Force and displacement (distance moved from a point) are vectors meaning that they have a direction as well as size
• The direction matters as the force and the distance moved must be in the same direction 

The equation work done = force x distance moved in teh same direction applies

w=F(change in)s
