If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, <u>work </u> is being done.
<u>Explanation;</u>
Work refers to the application of a given force over a distance. Thus, we can say work is the product of force and distance.
Energy on the other hand is the ability of a body to change, its location, shape, or state of another body.
According to the work-Energy principle, a change in the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by a body in motion, is equivalent to the net work done on the body.
Any activity which requires any physical or mental efforts in order to reach towards the result is known as work.
For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then he is doing a physical activity in which he is putting his efforts.
Thus, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.
