Work done and energy transfer
Question
- A. Work done is equal to the force multiplied by the distance moved — definition focus for braking
- B. This confuses distance and displacement and does not answer Energy transfer and braking.
- 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: Work done is equal to the force multiplied by the distance moved — definition focus for braking
Explanation
The correct option is Work done is equal to the force multiplied by the distance moved — definition focus for braking. Work done is equal to the force multiplied by the distance moved — definition focus for braking is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to interpret simple data about braking force, distance and energy transfer. This answer belongs to Energy transfer and braking 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
Misunderstanding Work Done
Students often confuse work done with energy transferred, thinking they are the same concept.
Clarify that work done is specifically the energy transferred when a force moves an object through a distance, emphasizing the distinction between the two terms.
