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!

During an exothermic reaction; light and heat are released into the environment.

An exothermic reaction is one in which heat is released to the environment. This heat can be physically observed sometimes like in an a combustion reaction.

In an exothermic reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy of the products.

This heat lost is sometimes felt as the hotness of the vessel in which the reaction has taken place.

In conclusion, light and heat are released into the environment in an exothermic reaction.

The radius of curvature of both sides of a converging lens is 18 cm. One side of the lens is coated withsilver so that the inner
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

n = 1.4

Explanation:

Given,

R1 = 18 cm, R2 = -18 cm

From lens makers formula

1/f = (n - 1)(1/18 + 1/18) = (n-1)/9

f = 9/(n-1)

Power, P = 1/f ( in m) = (n-1)/0.09

Now, this lens is in with conjunction with a concave mirror which then can be thought of as to be in conjunction with another thin lens

Power of concave mirror = P' = 1/f ( in m) = 2/R = 2/0.18 = 1/0.09

Net power of the combination = 2P + P' = 2(n-1)/0.09 + 1/0.09 = 1/0.05

n = 1.4
