HELPPPP MEEEEEEEEEEE Work = force × distance (W = Fd) In which scenario is the most work done?

Physics
1 answer:
Ket [755]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A parrot lifts a cracker off the ground to eat.

Explanation:

Work is said to be done by a force only if the force causes displacement.

Work (W) by a force (F) causing a displacement (d) is given as:

W=Fd

Displacement of an object is the net change in its position and a body that is not moving has zero displacement.

Let us check each option now.

Choice 1:

A parrot lifts a cracker off the ground to eat.

Here, the lifts a cracker off the ground. So, the parrot applies some force on the cracker and the cracker's position has changed.

So, there is work done by the parrot as force causes a displacement.

Choice 2:

A weightlifter holds a 150 pound barbell for 3 minutes.

Here, no work is done as the force applied to hold the barbell is not producing any displacement.

Choice 3:

A waiter holds a tray of 15 glasses of water over his head while standing at the front of a restaurant.

Here, no work is done as the force applied to hold the glasses of water is not producing any displacement.

Choice 4:

A truck motor runs for 24 hours while the truck is parked.

Here, no work is done as the force applied to run the motor is not producing any displacement (truck is parked).

So, the correct choice is first choice.

How much thermal energy is created when a 3000 kg suv brakes to a stop from 20 m/s on a level road?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

b. 600,000 J

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of energy,

The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.

Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1

Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.

From the question,

Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)

Q' = 600000 J

Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than
Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.

If one bullet is dropped from a certain height and another is fired from a gun horizontally from the same height which one will
Zinaida [17]

If the ground is flat, and both bullets are released at the same time from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the same time.

The horizontal motion of the one from the gun has no effect on its vertical motion.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
