Question

True or False: Work happens when a push or a pull is exerted on an object and the object moves a distance.

Answer 1

True. Work happens when a force (a push or a pull) is exerted on an object, and the object moves a certain distance in the direction of that force. The formula for work is W = F × d × cos(θ), where W is work, F is the force applied, d is the distance moved, and θ is the angle between the force and the direction of motion. If the object does not move, or if the force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the movement, then no work is done.
