Hansel pushes a 2 lb. box 5 feet in 20 seconds. How much work has he done?

1 answer:

8 0

Work = force x distance

You can see time doesn’t matter (if we were talking about power, which is the RATE at which work is performed, that would be a different story).

W = 2 x 5 = 10 foot-pounds of work

Foot-pounds are gross units. Better to work in SI units when you can!

A 1200 kg car accelerates from 13 m/s to 17 m/s. find the change in momentum of the car.

mixas84 [53]

P=4800kgm/s
As
p=mΔv
where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Given values is
m =1200kg
Δv= 17m/s-13m/s=4m/s
Now
p=mΔv
p=(1200kg)*(4m/s)
p=4800kgm/s
