Work is the amount of energy transferred

Explanation:

In physics, work is a measure of the energy transfer occurring in a process. Typically, we talk about work when energy is converted from one form into another.

For instance, work is done when a force is applied on an object. The work done on the object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

We notice the following:

  • No work is done when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (cos 90^{\circ}=0)
  • The work is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement

Whenever work is done, there is also an energy transfer taking place. For instance, in the previous example, when the force is applied to the object, the object will accelerate (assume there is no friction), and will gain kinetic energy: therefore, there is a transfer of energy to the object.

A 3.00-kg model airplane has velocity components of 5.00 m/s due east and 8.00 m/s due north. What is the plane’s kinetic energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Kinetic energy, E = 133.38 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the model airplane, m = 3 kg

Velocity component, v₁ = 5 m/s (due east)

Velocity component, v₂ = 8 m/s (due north)

Let v is the resultant of velocity. It is given by :

v=\sqrt{v_1^2+v_2^2}

v=\sqrt{5^2+8^2}=9.43\ m/s

Let E is the kinetic energy of the plane. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\ kg\times (9.43\ m/s)^2

E = 133.38 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the plane is 133.38 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
