What is the relationship between work, force, and displacement?

  • A. Work is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to displacement
  • B. Work is directly proportional to both force and displacement
  • C. Work is inversely proportional to force but directly proportional to displacement
  • D. Work is inversely proportional to both force and displacement
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Work is directly proportional to both force and displacement. The work done on an object is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. Therefore, work is directly proportional to both force and displacement. Choice A is incorrect because work is not inversely proportional to displacement. Choice C is incorrect because work is not inversely proportional to force. Choice D is incorrect because work is not inversely proportional to both force and displacement.
