Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (A) Increasing the displacement.
Explanation:
The work done (W) by a force on an object is given by the formula:
W=F×d×cos(θ)W = F \times d \times \cos(\theta)W=F×d×cos(θ)
Where:
W is the work done,
F is the force applied,
d is the displacement of the object, and
θ is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of displacement.
To increase the work done by a force, you can either:
Increase the force (F) applied to the object.
Increase the displacement (d) through which the object moves.
Thus, increasing the displacement directly increases the work done.
Information Booster:
The work done is directly proportional to both the force applied and the displacement. If the displacement increases while the force remains the same, the work done increases.
Work done also depends on the angle between the force and displacement. If the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement (θ = 0°), the work is maximized.
Increased displacement means that the object moves further under the influence of the force, which results in more energy being transferred.
