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.

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.

What is the impulse of a 2 kg object that starts at 10 m/s and comes to a stop over 0.4 seconds?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Impulse = 20 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of force and time

Also impulse = momentum

Where momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Given that

M = 2kg

V = 10 m/s

Impulse = MV = 2 × 10 = 20 Ns

Consider two objects (Object 1 and Object 2) moving in the same direction on a frictionless surface. Object 1 moves with speed v
Semenov [28]

Answer:

A)Object 1 has the greater magnitude of its momentum.

B)The objects 2 have the greater kinetic energy.

Explanation:

For object 1 :

v₁ = v  ,m₁ = 2 m

For object 2 :

v_2=2\sqrt{v} ,m₂=m

We know that linear momentum given as

P = M V

M=Mass , V=Velocity

For object 1 :

P₁ =m₁ v₁

P₁ =2 m v

For object 2

P_2=m_2v_2

P_2=2m\sqrt {v}

We can say that object 1 have more momentum.

The kinetic energy

KE_1=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2

KE_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2m\times v^2

KE_1=mv^2

KE_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2

KE_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times 4v^2

KE_2=2mv^2

Therefore both the object 2 have higher kinetic energy.
