Why do we say “work done” and “energy change”

Physics
1 answer:
pychu [463]4 years ago
3 0

Answer with Explanation:

We say "work done" because it is the <em>amount of force</em> that causes an object's movement or displacement.<u> Without movement or displacement, there is </u><u>"no work done."</u> So, it has to happen first or you have to push or pull something first in order to say that work has been done.

We say "energy change" because <u>one form of energy is being transformed into another form of energy.</u> For example, chemical energy can be transformed or changed into light energy through the<em> combustion of coal. </em>Energy can<em> never be destroyed nor created</em> and this follows the<u> "Law of Conservation of Energy."</u>

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

Is it possible to have a net torque when all of the forces sum to zero? Explain.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

When two equal magnitude forces are acting on the rod in opposite direction

Then the net force on the system is always zero in that case

so we will have

F - F = 0

now for the system net torque due to these forces is given by

\tau = F(r_1) + F(r_2)

here we know that

r_1, r_2 = distance of the forces from reference about which torque is measured

so here we can say that net force is zero on the system while torque is not zero

in all such case object will rotate about a fixed position with change angular speed
