The work done by a force is calculated as:

A W = F/d

B W = F·d·cos(θ)

C W = m·v

D W = F·t

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Work = Force × displacement × cos(angle between force and displacement vectors).

💡 Why is B) the correct answer?

The correct answer to the question "The work done by a force is calculated as:" is Option B: W = F·d·cos(θ).

The other options — A) W = F/d, C) W = m·v, D) W = F·t — are incorrect for this AP Exam Prep question. As explained above: Work = Force × displacement × cos(angle between force and displacement vectors).
