State whether the following statement is true or false:
Work done by a force depends upon how fast work is done.
Work done by a force depends upon how fast work is done.
(FALSE) The statement is False.
Work done by a force is defined as the product of the force applied and the displacement in the direction of the force $(W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos \theta)$.
The rate at which work is done is defined as power $(P = W / t)$.
Therefore,work done depends only on the magnitude of force and displacement,not on the time taken or the speed at which the work is performed.
