Question

using the scientific dentintion of work, does mioving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of work?

Answer 1

\[W= \vec F\cdot d=Fd\cos\theta\]
The work is the amount of energy required to move against the force
theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement , when theta is 0° the most work is done
when theta is 90° no work is done
when theta grater than 90° the foce provides energy to the moving object
