In Physics what type of distance is used in calculating work?

Physics

Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton. meter (N. ... One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m

A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on
Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F_f = ma (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

What is the power involved in lifting a 1.0-kg object 1.0 m in 1.0 s??
MAVERICK [17]
Mass  = 1kg 
Distance  = 1m 
Time = 1s
Force= Mass x Acceleration due to graviy
          =  1 x 9.8 = 9.8
Velocity = Distance  / time
              = 1 / 1 =1m/s
Power = Force x velocity
           = 9.8 x 1 = 9.8 W

A rocket burns fuel at a rate of 199 kg/s and exhausts the gas at a relative speed of 9 km/s. Find the thrust of the rocket. Ans
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

1.791 MN

Explanation:

Thrust of the rocket can be found using the relation

T = v.dm/dt, where

T = thrust off the rocket

v = speed of the rocket, 9 km/s = 9000 m/s

dm/dt = rate at which fuel burns, 199 kg/s

Substituting the values into the formula, we have

T = 9000 * 199

T = 1791000 N

T = 1.791*10^6 N

Since 1 MN = 10^6, thus

T = 1.791 MN
