Work done and energy transfer
Question
- A. It transfers energy to thermal stores — definition focus for work done
- B. This confuses scalar and vector quantities 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: It transfers energy to thermal stores — definition focus for work done
Explanation
The correct option is It transfers energy to thermal stores — definition focus for work done. It transfers energy to thermal stores — definition focus for work done is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to distinguish force from work done in calculations and explanations. 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 scalar and vector quantities, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Confusing Work Done with Force
Students often confuse work done with the force applied, thinking they are the same quantity.
Remember that work done is the energy transferred when a force moves an object through a distance, and use the equation W = F x s to clarify the relationship.
