Work is defined as the force times the distance which is mathematically expressed W = Fxd. The given force is 5x10^4 and the distance is 10000 m (the distance is converted as meter because Nm = J) the work done by the wind is W = 5x10^4 N (10000) = 500 x 10^6 Joules. I hope it answered your question

What happens when two forces act in the same direction?
Wewaii [24]

Using the picture provided the forces are added together, because they are putting force on an object the same direction, thus the forces are added.

a moving billiard ball collides with an identical stationary billiard ball in an elastic collision. after the collision, the sec
MArishka [77]

A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.

<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>

Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.  

u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1

u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest

v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.

From the conservation of momentum,

∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2

∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2

∴ u1 = v1 + v2

In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

\frac{1}{2}  mu_1^2+0=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}  mv_2^2

∴  \frac{1}{2}  m(v_1+v_2 )^2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

∴ \frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2+mv_1 v_2=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2

∴ mv₁v₂ = 0

  1. It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
  2. Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
  3. As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.
<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.
