Can someone please help me? If somebody pushes a cart with 4N of force and the cart moves a distance of 2 meters, how much work

did they do?
Physics

7 0

Answer:

Work done, W = 8 J

Explanation:

We have,

Force acting on the cart is 4 N

Cart covers a distance of 2 m

We need to find the work done by the cart. Work done by an object is given in terms of force and displacement. It can be given by :

W=Fd\\\\W=4\ N\times 2\ m\\\\W=8\ J

So, the work done by the cart is 8 J.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 4700 MJ with respect to Eart
erastovalidia [21]

during satellite motion we know that total energy is always conserved

so here we will have

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

here we know that

KE_i = 4800 MJ

PE_i = 4700 MJ

now at other position

PE_f = 6000 MJ

now from above equation we have

4800 +4700 = 6000 + KE

now we have

9500 = 6000 + KE

KE = 9500 - 6000 = 3500 MJ

so its kinetic energy will be 3500 MJ

Why does a heavier object fall faster
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

In a vacuum (no air resistance), it doesn't.  All falling objects, regardless of mass, accelerate at the same rate.

However, when air resistance is taken into account, heavier objects indeed fall faster than lighter objects, provided they have the same shape and size.  For example, a lead ball falls faster than a styrofoam ball.

To understand why, first look at what factors affect air resistance:

D = ½ρv²CA

where ρ is air density,

v is velocity,

C is drag coefficient,

and A is cross sectional area.

As falling objects accelerate, they eventually reach a maximum velocity where air resistance equals weight.  This is called terminal velocity.

D = W

½ρv²CA = mg

v = √(2mg/(ρCA))

If we increase m while holding everything else constant, v increases.  So two objects with the same size and shape but different masses will have different terminal velocities, with the heavier object falling faster.
