    Question

    Which of the following can increase the work done by a force on an object?

    A.

    Increasing the displacement.

    B.

    Reducing the displacement.

    C.

    Reducing the force.

    D.

    Reducing the mass.

    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:

    1. Increase the force (F) applied to the object.

    2. 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.
