Understanding the Work-Energy Theorem

In summary, work done is the energy transferred between two objects when they interact through forces. It can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance moved in the direction of the force (W=F*Δs). This concept also applies to gas, where work done is equal to the pressure applied multiplied by the change in volume (W=p*ΔV). The concept of work is closely related to the Work-Energy Theorem, which states that when a force is applied to a body and it is displaced, work is done and energy is transferred.

Are the following definitions correct?

  • Work done as energy transferred
The energy transferred when the forces between two objects interact

  • Work done by a force
Work done = force x distance moved in the direction of force applied (W=F*Δs)

  • Work done by a gas
Work done = pressure x change in volume of gas (W=p*ΔV)

Did you just... I mean, you answered the 2nd and the 3rd question yourself.

When a force is applied to a body and the body is displaced from its original position then work is done.
