Concept explainers
To explain: the relation between the work done by the boy in the photograph does on the box and the energy transfer that occurs.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An object is said to have energy when it is able to change its surrounding or itself. The ability to cause change is called energy.
The boy does work on the box. He applies force to the box through a distance
Conclusion:
Since energy is the ability to do work, energy and work are both measured in joules.
