In Physics what type of distance is used in calculating work?

Valentin [98]

Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton. meter (N. ... One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m

How did you figure that out? (think of FORMULA!)

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the most potential energy would be at the highest point and the least it's at the lowest point so let's say and rollercoaster when it's like moving up its gaining potential energy while it's going down it loses potential energy (sorry if u get it wrong)

Vesna Vulovic survived the longest fall on record without a parachute when her plane exploded and she fell 5 miles, 733 yards. W

Valentin [98]

Answer:

8717 meters.

Explanation:

We need to know the conversion factors. We know that:

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

This means that:

$\frac{1609.34 meters}{1 mile}=1$

$\frac{0.9144 meters}{1 yard}=1$

It is convenient to leave the units we want at the end in the numerator so the ones in the denominator cancel out with the ones we want to remove, as will be seen in the next step.

We will convert first the miles, then the yards, and add them up.

$5miles=5miles\frac{1609.34 meters}{1 mile}=8046.7meters$

$733yards=733yards\frac{0.9144 meters}{1 yard}=670.2552meters$

So total distance is the sum of these, 8717 meters.
