When a forklift raises an object, is it doing positive or negative work on the object? Which type of work is the force of gravit

y doing on the object? a)The forklift is doing negative work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing positive work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. b)The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. c)The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing positive work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. d)The forklift is doing negative work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion.

Answer: B

The forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion. 

Explanation: The work done in lifting an object up is positive when the direction of the displacement and the force applied are in the same direction.

The work will be negative if force and direction of the motion are opposite to each other.

Also, force of gravity is considered positive when an object is moving toward the gravity. That is coming downward. Otherwise, it's negative when it's moving in the opposite direction.

When a forklift raises an object, the forklift is doing positive work on the object because the direction of force and the direction of motion are the same. The force of gravity is doing negative work on the object because it is acting opposite to the direction of motion.

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

A hockey puck slides across the ice at a constant velocity. Is the sliding puck in equilibrium? Why or why not?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Since the hockey puck is moving at constant velocity

So here we will have

F_{net} = ma

where we have

a = acceleration of the object

m = mass of object

so here since we know that acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

so here we will say that

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

a = 0

so we have

F_{net} = 0

so we will say that hockey puck is in equilibrium as there is no net force of it

If the electron is initially in the ground level, E1=0.625E[infinity]E1=0.625E[infinity], and absorbs a photon, what maximum wav
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

 λ = 3.1824 10-25 m

Explanation:

To release the electron from the power well the absorbed photon electro must be greater than or equal to the energy of the electron in the power well

           

The photon energy is E_photon = 0.625 J

The speed of light is

       c = λ f

         

Let's use Planck's equation

        E = h f

             

We substitute

       E = h c / λ

        λ = h c / E

        λ = 6.63 10-34 3 108 / 0.625

         λ = 3.1824 10-25 m
