This problem is getting you used to the definition of 'work' = (force) x (distance).

It's hard to really imagine, but technically, when an object moves horizontally,
no work is done, because there's no lifting against the force of gravity.

Another way to look at it:  The potential energy of the object never changes,
because its height never changes, so no energy ever goes into it ot gets
taken out of it.

Also, if the object moves at a constant speed, then it never accelerated,
and that means that no force ever acted on it.

So technically, when an object moves horizontally at a constant speed,
the work done on it is zero.

A jogger hears a car alarm and decides to investigate. While running toward the car, she hears an alarm frequency of 872.10 Hz.
Nata [24]

Answer:

v = 4.18 m/s

Explanation:

given,

frequency of the alarm = 872.10 Hz

after passing car frequency she hear = 851.10 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

speed of the jogger = ?

speed of the

v_f = \dfrac{872.10-851.10}{2}

v_f =10.5\ Hz

v_o = 872.1 - 10.5

V_0 = 861.6\ Hz

The speed of jogger

v = \dfrac{v_1 \times 343}{v_0}-343

v = \dfrac{872.1 \times 343}{861.6}-343

v = 4.18 m/s

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane m=1400\ kg

distance moved d=40\ m

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

W_T=T\cdot d

W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40

W_T=548.8\ KJ

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

W_T+W_g=0

W_g=-548.8\ KJ
