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.

Three 7 0hm resistors are connected in series across a 10 V battery. What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?

Tomtit [17]

Given

Three 7 ohm resistor are in series.

The battery is V=10V

To find

The equivalent resistance

Explanation

When the resistance are in series then the resistance are added to find its equivalent.

Thus the equivalent resistance is:

$R=7+7+7=21\Omega$

Conclusion

The equivalent resistance is 21 ohm

outward from a wall just above floor level. A 1.5 kg box sliding across a frictionless floor hits the end of the spring and comp

Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$
