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:
They are measured in joules, calories, and kilocalories
Answer:
(B) 0.5 g
Explanation:
Newton's second law says ∑ F i = m a .
the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.
f∝ma
f=kma
were k is constant and equal to 1
The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.
the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside
At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;
notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object
we can write
1.5mg – mg = mac,
0.5mg = mac
0.5 g=ac

its hard to explain its very complex but its so they can function properly
