Answer: Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.
Explanation:
kinetic energy is Movement energy
think of it like the Xbox Kinect
For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.
3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.
That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
Answer:
The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
Explanation:
To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by
Our values are:
Replacing,
We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,
But we know that d is equal to
Where
v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,
(per hour)
Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
The positive and the negative side
I hope this helps :)
