Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin

g when determining the work done on the object?
A. Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work.

B. If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done.

C. When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.

D. A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle.

C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.  
W=Fdcos(\theta)

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area where the molecule is in high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion (high to low concentration) of water through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of high water molecule concentration (and lower solute concentration) to an area of low concentration (and higher solute concentration.

Hope this Helps!!!

The tired of a car support the weight of a stationary. If onetire has a slow leak, the air pressure within the tire will_____wit
Westkost [7]

Answer:

d) Decrease, increase, remain constant

Explanation:

If one tire has a slow leak, the air pressure within the tire will_DECREASE____with time due to outflow of air , the surface area between the tire and the road will__INCREASE__in time,due to flattening of tire.

The net force the tire exerts on the road will_REMAIN CONSTANT____in time. It is so because force does not depend upon area. It is pressure which depends upon area. As there is no change in the weight of the car , force on the road will remain constant.

You are riding a bicycle. If you apply a forward force of 125 N, and you and
erica [24]

Answer:

1.52g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 125N

Mass combined  = 82kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the bicycle  = ?

Solution:

From Newton second law of motion suggests that:

   Force = mass x acceleration

  Acceleration = \frac{force}{mass}  = \frac{125}{82}   = 1.52g
