Rationale for change

The cos theta is not included in many times when the equation for work is written. Most times it is just written as
W = F*d

Including in the linked Khan Academy lniked video, there is no mention of the cos theta, so that is easy to not totally get why it is included and become confused.

Including an explanation of what the cos theta means and how it could impact the amount of work done helps with understanding.
