Key takeaways
Recognise the units and the scenarios where the equation W = F x d would be appropriate to use.
Apply the equation to different situations and exam questions.
Describe the similarities and differences between work done and gravitational energy transferred.
Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. In Physics, work is done when energy transfers from one store to another. In this short session, students will examine how to use the equation for work done in different situations and how it's related to the equation for gravitational potential energy. This class is great for students in Years 9 - 11 who want to feel more confident in the topic and get the chance to practise so that they excel in future exams.
