WORK
I. Introductory Concept
Everyday people work for one reason or another. They exert force and energy in
working. What comes to your mind when you hear the word “work”?
What is your work? It refers to a job or employment. When people say, “I’ll meet you
after work…,” they refer it to a part of the day devoted to an occupation or undertaking.
When your teacher asks, “Have you done your homework?,” this refers to a task or activity
needed to be accomplished. But in Science, “work” has its own meaning.
Calculating Work
Work is done when the force (F) applied to the object causes the object to have a
displacement (d) in the same direction as the force applied. The symbol for work is
W. The work done by a force can be calculated as W = F x d. And the unit of work
is Joule. 1
II. Learning Skills/Competency:
Identify and explain the factors that affect potential and kinetic energy (S8FE-Ia-
17)
III. Activities
Part I. Knowing if work is Done or Not
Direction: Put a check (√) if the statement tells that work is done or a cross (X) if it is
not done on the space provided. Please see examples below.

Part II. Calculating the amount of work done.
Read the following problems carefully and calculate the amount of work done.
Example: Suppose a man applies a force of 50 Newton (N) to push a cart and move
it across a distance of 10 m, what is the amount of work done by the man?
Given: F = 50 N
d = 10 m
Unknown: W = ?
Formula: W = F x d
Solution: W = 50 N x 10 m
Answer: W= 500 J
