What's the relationship between work done and force applied

1 answer:

3 0

When a force acts on a body along some path, the work done is W=F*s, where W is the work done, F is the force that is doing the work on the body and s is the path. The force doing the work has to be in the same direction, or parallel, as the path. This is called positive work. If the force and the path are anti-parallel, the work is negative. So the relationship between work and force is W=F*s.

A person in the back of a pick-up moving at 20 m/s relative to the Earth, throws a baseball with a speed of 15 m/s in a directio

Bumek [7]

Answer:

This is known as a Galilean transformation where

V' = V - U

Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame

V - speed of object in the unprimed frame

U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame

Here we have:

V = -15 m/s speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)

U = -20 m/s speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame
