Work done and energy transfer

Question

  1. A. 200 J — graph focus for work done
  2. B. This confuses distance and displacement and does not answer Work done by a force.
  3. C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
  4. D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Work done and energy transfer.

Answer

The correct answer is: 200 J — graph focus for work done

Explanation

The correct option is 200 J — graph focus for work done. 200 J — graph focus for work done is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to calculate force from work done and distance. 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

Confusing Work Done and Force

Students often confuse the concepts of work done and force, mistakenly thinking that they are the same quantity.

Remember that work done is the energy transferred when a force moves an object through a distance. Use the equation W = F x d to differentiate between the two.
