According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"
Answer:
5.1 hours
Explanation:
The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.
The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.
-- If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.
-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds
-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>
Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower. (0.99295... of 746 watts)
False
Energy in the form of motion is kinetic energy
Stored energy is called potential energy
