Question
The work done on an object does not depend on ______.
Options
displacement
applied force
initial velocity of the object
the angle between force and displacement.
Solution
The work done on an object does not depend on the initial velocity of the object.
Explanation:
W = Fs cosθ
According to the formula of work, we come to know that the work done on an object does not depend on the initial velocity of the object.
