Answer:

There is no experiment to prove that you are in motion

Explanation:

A frame of reference which has constant velocity is known as an inertial frame of reference. Motion is relative. One can detect one's motion only when one observes change in position with respect to a fixed body.

Thus, if you are in a spaceship moving at a constant speed in a straight line and unable to look outside, you would not be able to prove that you are moving. Everything within the spaceship would have same speed. If you will throw any object within the spaceship, then the parameters measured by you would also not show that the spaceship is in motion.

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.
