Answer:

W = F × D

Explanation:

Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!

The formula we use to calculate work is shown below:

W = F × D

W = WORK

F = FORCE

D = DISTANCE

For example, let's say you're holding a box with both of your hands, keeping it still. Sure, holding the box requires some amount of effort, no matter the weight or size, but since you aren't moving the box up and down, no work is being applied.

If you slowly raise the box into the air, however, work is being done on the box. It still requires effort, but you're applying force on the box, raising it x amount of distance into the air.

This is where the variables W, F and D come from.

I hope this helped you! Comment below if I can assist with anything else! :)

The first one would be frequency. Here’s what I found to support that “The number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time is called the The word frequent means “often,” so frequency measures how often a wave occurs. Frequency is often measured by counting the number of crests or troughs that pass by a given point in one second”

The second one would be a medium “Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. “

What would happen when there is a collision between two objects having unequal masses

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Newton's Laws Applied to Collisions. Newton's third law of motion is naturally applied to collisions between two objects. ... Thus, if the colliding objects have unequal mass, they will have unequal accelerations as a result of the contact force that results during the collision.

A muscle inserts 1.5 cm from the joint axis and exerts 300 N of force at an angle of pull of 60 degrees. How much torque is prod

Amanda [17]

Answer:

torque = 3.897 N-m

Explanation:

given data

force = 300 N

angle = 60 degree

distance = 15 cm

to find out

torque

solution

we will apply here torque formula that is given below

torque = force × sinθ × distance ...................1

put here all these value in equation 1

we get torque

torque = force × sinθ × distance

torque = 300 × sin60 × 1.5 × $10^{-2}$

torque = 300 × 0.8660 × 1.5 × $10^{-2}$

torque = 259.80 × 1.5 × $10^{-2}$

torque = 389.711 × $10^{-2}$

torque = 3.897 N-m

Energy is always conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred between objects or systems, from

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Have in mind: Energy is always conserved and, (...) be transferred between objects or systems, from one form to another.

Hence, the true relation is C, when a system gains kinetic energy, it loses potential energy.

Think about this,

K + P = constant

If K increases, then P need to decreases to holds the above relation.
