Is a person pushing against a wall with 300J an example of work being done?
1 answer
No, a person pushing against a wall with 300J is not an example of work being done. Work is defined as the transfer of energy from one object to another, resulting in the displacement of the object in the direction of the applied force. In this case, since the wall does not move or undergo any displacement, no work is being done on the wall. Work requires both force and displacement to occur in the same direction.
