how are force and direction of motion related when talking about work?

directly

What two things could be changed to change the amount of work done?

distance and force

If an object was pushed on but does not move, is there any power being done?

no, there was no work being done

what is work?

occurs when a force causes an object to move in the direction of the force or w=Fd

When is more work being done: when lifting books from waist to shoulder height or when lifting the books from waist to over your head? Explain

over head, it is a greater distance to lift so the work would be increased w=Fd

If an object is pushed on, but does not move, is there any work being done on the object? Why?

NO, in order to do work, the force must push or pull on the object AND the object must move a distance in the direction of the force. Both need to happen to do work.

equation for power

P= w/t
