Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation:  Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is  

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.

Answer:

The answer is false

Explanation:

Though the mostly used SI unit of measurement or the most popular units are the

Length,

Time and

Mass

i.e meter (m), seconds (s), kilogram (kg)

Aside all the above stated units for measurements there are other four basic units which are itemized  bellow.

they are

1. Amount of substance - mole (mole)

2. Electric current - ampere (A)

3. Temperature - kelvin (K)

4. Luminous intensity - candela (cd)

Newtons law of garvitation is known as universal law. Why​
xeze [42]

Answer:

It is called so because it is applicable on all bodies having mass, and the bodies will be governed by the same law, that is newton's law of gravitation. Thus, as it is applicable universally, it is called as universal law.

A golfer tees off and hits a golf ball at a speed of 31 m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. What is the horizontal velocity compo
Sever21 [200]
The horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is calculated by multiplying the speed by the cosine of the given angle. 
                        x-component of speed = (31 m/s)(cos 35°) 
                                                               = 25.39 m/s
Thus, the horizontal velocity component of the ball is 25.39 m/s.

A 47-kg packing crate is pulled with constant speed across a rough floor with a rope that is at an angle of 37 degrees above the
levacccp [35]

Tension in the rope due to applied force will be given as

F = 142 N

angle of applied force with horizontal is 37 degree

displacement along the floor = 6.1 m

so here we can use the formula of work done

W = F d cos\theta

now we can plug in all values above

W = 142 * 6.1 * cos37

W = 691.8 J

So here work done to pull is given by 691.8 J
