Force - is a push or pull that produces motion,
prevents motion and changes the direction of the
motion of an object. It has both magnitude and
direction and therefore, a vector quantity.

TIME
FIRST!!!
Most certainly, a Physics teacher or
any other person standing is doing
work, but the work being done isn’t
easily visible. Inside the body the
heart is pumping blood, the
digestive system is grinding away of
breakfast, receptors are drawing
molecules across cell membranes.
We do work even as we sleep.
Forces causing displacement are
happening everywhere under our
skins. The human body is a
busy place.
 “Being busy does not always
mean real

work . The object of all work is

production or accomplishment
and to

either of these ends there must

be

forethought, system, planning,

intelligence , and honest

purpose , as

well as perspiration . Seeming to

do is

not doing.”
