A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
1 answer:
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>
Explanation:
The Work done by a Force
refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.
Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(1)
In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box
by the distance traveled
.
Hence:

Answer:
The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m
Explanation:
velocity of the ball, = 2 m/s south
velocity of the air, = 5 m/s west
To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.
| 2m/s
|
|
↓
5m/s ←------------------
the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.
R² = 5² + 2²
R² = 29
R = √29
R = 5.385 m/s
The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;
d = R x t
where;
t is time of the motion = 2 seconds
d = 5.385 x 2
d = 10.77 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.
