you are doing work on
the ball.

your body weight up the
stairs you are doing
work against gravity.

No work is done when
A force is applied but the object
does not move.
A force is applied, but the
object does not move in the
direction of the applied force.

The SI unit for work is the joule (J).

To a scientist, work W is done whenever a force F makes an
object move a certain distance D in the direction of the force.
Work = Force Distance

The greater the force, and the further it moves, the more work is done.
Defining Work
1 joule is defined as the amount of work done when a
force of 1 N moves an object 1 m in the direction
