Answer:
(c) position
Explanation:
From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.
But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e
W = F x d
This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.
Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).
Answer:
A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.
B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor
C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily
Explanation:
Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.
F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.
Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.
Among the STEM discoverers, the one who is known for the invention of the circular saws that are used in sawmills is Babbitt or better known as Sarah "Tabitha<span>" Babbitt, an American inventor and Shaker tool maker. The answer to this is the first option. Hope this helps.</span>
