If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?

I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.

during a dodge ball game a student throw a ball at another player what forces act on the ball as it flie through the air

olchik [2.2K]

Gravity acts to accelerate the ball downward, and air resistance acts in a way to slow the ball along it's instantaneous velocity (no matter which way it's moving air applies a force in the opposite direction)

xeze [42]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km and finally turns around again and heads 3.7 km due east. (a) What is the total distance traveled by the whale? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the whale?

Answer:

(a) Distance = 12.4 km

(b) Displacement = 8.8 km due east

Explanation:

Consider east direction as positive and west direction as negative.

Given:

The motion is along the east-west line.

The whale first swims 6.9 km due east, then 1.8 km due west and again 3.7 km due east.

(a)

Distance traveled by the whale is equal to the sum of the lengths of all the distances traveled. Therefore,

Distance traveled = 6.9 km + 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 12.4 km

Therefore, the distance traveled by the whale is 12.4 km.

(b)

Displacement of the whale is given by considering the sign of each of the individual displacements. Therefore,

Displacement of the whale = (+6.9 km) + (-1.8 km) + (+3.7 km)

Displacement of the whale = 6.9 km - 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 8.8 km

The answer is positive. So, the direction is due east.

Therefore, the displacement of the whale is <u>8.8 km due east.</u>

lions [1.4K]

No, because in oxygen depraved rooms, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same height and time, they will fall at the same speed and have the same amount of impact.
