Using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of w

The answer is no. If you are dealing with a conservative force and the object begins and ends at the same potential then the work is zero, regardless of the distance travelled. This can be shown using the work-energy theorem which states that the work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
W=KEf−KEi
An example of this would be a mass moving on a frictionless curved track under the force of gravity.
The work done by the force of gravity in moving the objects in both case A and B is the same (=0, since the object begins and ends with zero velocity) but the object travels a much greater distance in case B, even though the force is constant in both cases.

How do altitude temperature and air pressure relate
kiruha [24]
They relate because the further up you go, the colder it gets, and the air pressure decreases the further up you go. The altitude temperature and the air pressure both decrease, and that is their relationship. Altitude temperature decreases, the higher you go, and air pressure also decreases, the higher up you go. Therefore, the lower down you go, the higher the air pressure, and the higher the altitude temperature.

Hope this helps and have a nice day:)

Tâm ống dẫn đặt dưới đường phân giới giữa nước và thuỷ ngân h1 = 820mm, chênh lệch chiều cao cột thuỷ ngân h2 = 880mm (Hg = 13,
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

P = 79993.43245

Explanation:

Được -

Vị trí tâm ống dẫn dưới đường thuỷ ngân h1 = 820 mm

Chênh lệch chiều cao của cột thủy ngân h2 = 880mm

Tỷ trọng của thủy ngân = 13,5951 g / cm3

P = mật độ * gia tốc do trọng lực a * h

Thay thế các giá trị đã cho, chúng ta nhận được -

P = 13,5951 g / cm3 * 980,665 cm / s2 * (88-82) cm

P = 79993.43245
