We use them to survive, such as for oxygen, food, and shelter.
Answer:
Work done on an object is equal to
FDcos(angle).
So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.
However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.
But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?
Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.
Explanation:
Answer:
78.4 m
Explanation:
Using newton's equation of motion,
S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 1
Where S = Height, t = time, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note: Taking upward to be negative, and down ward positive
Given: u = 49 m/s, t = 2.0 s, g = -9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 1
S = 49(2) - 1/2(9.8)(2)²
S = 98 - 19.6
S = 78.4 m
Hence the height of the ball two seconds later = 78.4 m
