Force-Displacement Graph
A plot with force on the y-axis and displacement on the x-axis, used to calculate work done. Area Under Curve
Represents the work done by a force on an object, calculated from a force-displacement graph. Rectangle
A geometric shape used to simplify area calculations on a force-displacement graph. Triangle
A geometric shape used to calculate areas under a force-displacement graph for work done. Base
The horizontal side of a rectangle or triangle used in area calculations on a graph. Height
The vertical side of a rectangle or triangle used in area calculations on a graph. Positive Work
Work indicated by areas above the x-axis on a force-displacement graph. Negative Work
Work indicated by areas below the x-axis on a force-displacement graph. Net Work
The total work done, calculated by summing positive and negative areas under a graph. Joules
The unit of measurement for work done, represented by the area under a force-displacement graph. Variable Force
A force that changes with displacement, requiring area calculations for work done. Base Times Height
The formula used to calculate the area of a rectangle on a graph. One-Half Base Times Height
The formula used to calculate the area of a triangle on a graph. X-Axis
The horizontal axis on a graph, representing displacement in a force-displacement graph. Y-Axis
The vertical axis on a graph, representing force in a force-displacement graph.
