This document discusses the concept of work in physics. It defines work as the product of the applied force and the displacement in the direction of the force. It notes that work depends on both the magnitude of the force and the distance of displacement. The document provides examples of work, such as hitting a ball or pulling a bucket of water. It then calculates the work done by lifting a 0.25 kg cup of tea 0.4 meters high as 1 joule by determining the force as weight and multiplying by the displacement.
