In which of the following situations would the least work have been done?

1 answer:

3 0

Work = (magnitude of the force) x (distance in the direction of the force)

A 100-N force lifts an object 3 m. ==> (100 x 3) = 300 joules

B. A 250-N force moves an object 1 m. ==> (250 x 1) = 250 joules

C. A 25-N force moves an object 8 m. ==> (25 x 8) = 200 joules

D. A 600-N force is applied to an object
and moves it 0 m. ==> (600 x 0) = no work
 Winner ! Least work.

Describe ehat happens at the molecular level during meilting

Marta_Voda [28]

The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
