Answer:

Explanation:

In the calculation of distance we do not take into account the direction of movement .So only magnitude of movement is taken care of.

On the other hand , in respect of displacement , we take into account even direction of movement along with magnitude.

Distance covered by flea = 45 - 27 = 18 cm

Displacement by flea = 27 - 45 = - 18 cm

Speed = Distance covered / time

= 18 / 3 = 6 cm / s

Velocity = - 18 / 3 = - 6 cm /s.

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
NARA [144]
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=45N by the distance traveled d=12m.

Hence:  

W=(45N)(12m)   (2)

W=540Nm=540J

Pls help
belka [17]

Answer:

2156 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done = Combined mass of the bucket and water×height×gravity.

W = (M+m)hg............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of water, m = mass of the bucket, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: M = 20 kg, m = 2 kg, h = 10 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these  value into equation 1

W = (20+2)×10×9.8

W = 22×98

W = 2156 J
