W=Fdcosθ=100 JW = Fd\cos\theta = 100\ J
Work done100.0 J
Power25.0 W
Effective force (F cos θ)20.0 N
  • With the force acting straight along the motion (0°), confirm work = force × displacement
  • Set the angle to 90° and confirm the work done is exactly zero
  • With force = 20 N and displacement = 5 m at 0°, confirm the work done reads exactly 100 J
  • Set the angle beyond 90° and confirm the work done becomes negative
  • With 100 J of work done over 4 seconds, confirm the power reads exactly 25 W
