Work is best described as?

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, work can be described as force multiplied by the displacement of the object (distance caused by the force acted on the object).

Work is a form of energy, therefore, it is measured in joules.

If Alex pushed on an object with 10N of force, and the object moved 2 meters, the work of Alex will be equal to:

W = Ft

W = 10N * 2m

W = 20 Joules

But, if we have John, that pushed on an object with 2N of force, but, since the object was way smaller, therefore it had way less inertia, the object moved a distance equal to 10 meters. Let's also calculate his work.

W = Ft

W = 2N * 10m

W = 20 Joules

And we got the same result.

Work can also be used to calculate power.

Power is equal to P = Work / time

It can also be written as P = delta Work / delta time

Power is measured in joules per second.

With power you can make the difference between someone that got a 2 kg object up in 2 second, and someone that got a 2 kg object up in 5 second.

The more powerful one would be the one who managed to make the same work in less time.

Hope it Helped!

Based on this, you can tell that Iron(Fe) does not react with Nitrogen(N), but does with something in normal air. The element the Iron is reacting with Oxygen(O), and the compound that is formed is called iron oxide.

in baseball, a pitcher can accelerate 0.15kg ball from rest to 98 mi/hr in a distance of 1.7m. (a) What is the average force exe
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

F=84.68 N

Required force increases

Explanation:

By the equation

v^{2}=u^{2} +2as\\ 98^{2}*1609.344^{2}/(60*60)^{2}=0+2*a*1.7\\a = 98^{2}*1609.344^{2}/((60*60)^{2}*2*1.7)\\a = 564.50m/s^{2} \\

By newton's second law :

F=ma\\F=0.15*564.50  \\F=84.68 N

When the mass increased the force increases as the equation.

F=ma

Let's assume you use green light (λ = 550 nm) to look at an electron. What is the uncertainty in determining the electron's velo
Rudiy27
By uncertainty principle

λ = h / p.         

Where λ = wavelength,  h = Planck's constant = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ Js

λ = wavelength = 550 nm = 550 * 10⁻⁹ m, Mass of electron = 9.1 * 10 ⁻³¹ kg

p = Momentum = mv

λ = h / mv

v = h / mλ

v = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ / (9.1 * 10⁻³¹ *  550 * 10⁻⁹)

v = 1 324 675.325 m/s

v ≈ 1.325 *10⁶  m/s
