If a force acting on an object is multiplied how is product called work?

1 answer:

6 0

Work is equal to the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance it had travelled. This is work as long as the force and the direction of the distance in going in the same direction.

It is work because you're applying a force on an object to move it.

For example, work is done when you push a box across the floor, but work is not done when you lift the box up and then walk it across the room. This is because the force on the box is upwards since you're lifting it and the direction of the distance is left or right so the directions are not the same.

The cable supporting a 2130-kg elevator has a maximum strength of 2.18×104 n . what maximum upward acceleration can it give the

Vlada [557]

Answer;

=0.43 m/s²

Solution;

There will be the tension in the cable, T, upwards and the weight of the elevator, mg, downwards.

By Newton's second law, the sum of the forces will be equal to mass×acceleration.

Resultant force = m × a

Then T - mg = ma so the tension in the cable is

T = m(g+a)

The cable will break when T = 21,800 N

Solving for a, that happens when

a = 21800/2130 - g

= 10.23 - g (in m/s^2)

If you're using g = 9.8 m/s^2

Then the maximum acceleration allowed is 10.23-9.8 = 0.43 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the meter stick is traveling with Jill, it will have the same speed as she does so relative to Jill, the meter stick is stationary so its length remains 1.00 m as measured by her.

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo

hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

$W-N=0$ (1)
