Question
- A. 200 J — calculation focus for work done
- B. This confuses distance and displacement and does not answer Work done by a force.
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Work done and energy transfer.
Answer
The correct answer is: 200 J — calculation focus for work done
Explanation
The correct option is 200 J — calculation focus for work done. 200 J — calculation focus for work done is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate distance from work done and force. This answer belongs to Work done by a force within Work done and energy transfer, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse distance and displacement, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Calculating Distance
Students often confuse the formula for calculating distance, mistakenly using distance = work done / force instead of correctly applying the rearranged formula.
To fix this, remember that distance can be calculated by rearranging the work done equation W = F x s to s = W / F. Always ensure you are using the correct formula for the calculation.
