Answer:

The work is 6 J (Joule)

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force that is applied on a body to move it from one point to another. When a net force is applied to the body or a system and this produces displacement, then that force is said to perform mechanical work.

In the International System of Units, work is measured in Joule. Joule is equivalent to Newton per meter.

The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance (displacement) and by the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves.  

Work=Force*distance*cos(angle)

In this case, the angle between the force and the displacement is 0 degrees. This is because the force and displacement are in the same direction. So the cosine of 0 degrees will have a value of 1.

Also, in this case the force has a value of 2 N and the displacement or distance is 3 meters. So the work is:

Work= 2 N* 3 meters* cos(0)

Work= 2 N* 3 meters* 1

Work= 6 Joule

<u><em>The work is 6 J (Joule)</em></u>

Answer:

6 J

Explanation: Work done(J) = Force(N) × Distance(m) along the direction of force.

Given, Force=2 N, Distance=3 meters

∴ Wok done (J) = 2 × 3 = 6 J.

Gases does not have definite shapes and volume ? (give a scientific reason for the following)​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Gases do not have a definite shape or volume because the molecules in gases are very loosely packed, they have large intermolecular spaces and hence they move around. ... The particles of solid are closely packed and occupy less space while particles of gases are loosely packed and occupy the complete space available.

Which set of values represents standard pressure and standard temperature?(1) 1 atm and 101.3 K(2) 1 kPa and 273 K(3) 101.3 kPa
yuradex [85]
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0 degree Celsius and 1 atm. We also know that 1atm= 101.3 kPa. Thus, set 3 is the best choice.
Hope that would help :))
