  1. Q1. The SI unit of work is the:

    • A.joule
    • B.newton
    • C.watt
    • D.pascal

    Answer: A. joule

    The idea this question leans on: Work is measured in joules. That fits the listed correct option directly - Correct. Quickly on the wrong ones: option B) 'newton' is wrong because Unit of force; option C) 'watt' fails since Unit of power. Hence the answer is A) joule.

  2. Q2. The SI unit of work is the joule, which equals:

    • A.1 newton-metre (N m)
    • B.1 newton per metre
    • C.1 kilogram-metre
    • D.1 watt-second squared

    Answer: A. 1 newton-metre (N m)

  3. Q3. Pushing hard against a rigid wall that does not move involves work (in physics) equal to:

    • A.zero
    • B.a very large value
    • C.the force applied
    • D.the time you pushed

    Answer: A. zero

    Going back to the NCERT chapter, The work-energy theorem gives W = F * s * cos(theta) for a constant force; when the force and displacement align, W = F * s => substituting the data yields the quoted result; hence the answer is zero. That fits the listed correct option directly - Correct. Quickly on the wrong ones: option B) 'a very large value' is wrong because No displacement means zero work, however hard you push; option C) 'the force applied' misses the point - Force alone is not work without displacement. Hence the answer is A) zero.
