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:
a) 400.4Joules
b) 262.69Joules
Explanation:
Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the object to move through a distance
Workdone = Force × Distance
Given
Force = 76N
Distance= 5.2m
Work done = 77 × 5.2
Work done = 400.4Joules
b) If the force is exerted at an angle of 41°
Work done = Fdsin theta
Work done = 77(5.2)sin41
Work done = 400.4sin41
Work done = 262.69Joules
Answer:
The value of spring constant is 266.01 
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of pellet 
kg
Height difference of pellet rise 
m
Spring compression 
m
From energy conservation law,
Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,
Where 
spring constant, 
Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01
Answer:
D) Since the stars would move from East to West just as the Sun and Moon do.
An electron has a negative charge. Hope this helps.
