A
energy is transferred and work is done on the object
3
Q
Formula for Work done
A
Work done(j)= Force(N) x Distance(M)
4
Q
Conversion of Joules to Newton Metres
A
1J= 1Nm(Newtonmetre)
5
Q

A
The forces that have combined in such a way that they cancel each other out and no resultant force acts on the body
6
