Answer:

Work can be defined as transfer of energy.

Energy can be defined as the capacity for doing work

Power is the work done in a unit of time.

Explanation:

Work can be defined as transfer of energy. In physics we say that work is done on an object when you transfer energy to that object.

Power is the work done in a unit of time. In other words, power is a measure of how quickly work can be done.

Energy can be defined as the capacity for doing work. The simplest case of mechanical work is when an object is standing still and we force it to move

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:0.27

Explanation:

Given

One worker Pushes with force F_1=430 N

other Pulls it with a rope of rope F_2=360 N

mass of crate m=290 kg

both forces are horizontal and crate slides with a constant speed

Both forces are in the same direction so Friction will oppose the forces and will be equal in magnitude of sum of two forces because crate is moving with constant speed i.e. net force is zero on it

f_r=F_1+F_2

where f_r is the friction force

f_r=430+360

f_r=790 N

f_r=\mu N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction

N=mg

790=\mu 29\cdot 9.8

\mu =0.27
