प्रश्न
Look at the activity below. Reason out whether or not work is done in the light of your understanding of the term ‘work’.
A sailboat is moving due to wind energy.
उत्तर
- Wind energy applies a force on the sailboat to push it in the forward direction.
- Therefore, there is a displacement in the boat in the direction of force.
- Hence, work is done by wind on the boat.
