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.

What the kinetic energy quantities in calculation pls help me​
Rashid [163]

Answer:

KE = 0.5 * m * v², where: m - mass, v - velocity.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s 2.

An open organ pipe 30 cm long and a closed organ pipe 23 cm long, both of same diameter , are each sounding its first overtone ,
cupoosta [38]

First overtone of open organ pipe is given as

f_{1o} = \frac{v}{L_1 + 2e}

first overtone of closed organ pipe is given as

f_{1c} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

now they are in unison so we will have

\frac{v}{L_1 + 2e} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

\frac{1}{30 + 2e} = \frac{3}{4(23 + e)}

90 + 6e = 92 + 4e

e = 1 cm

so end correction of both pipes is e = 1 cm
