Work done and energy transfer
Question
- A. 50 J — definition 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: 50 J — definition focus for work done
Explanation
The correct option is 50 J — definition focus for work done. 50 J — definition focus for work done is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to define work done as energy transferred when a force moves an object through a 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 with Energy Transfer
Students often confuse the concept of work done with energy transfer, thinking they are the same when work done is specifically the energy transferred by a force moving an object.
To fix this, remember that work done is a specific case of energy transfer that occurs when a force causes an object to move. Focus on the definition: work done is energy transferred when a force moves an object through a distance.
