Physics

Answer:

Simple answer: Yes

Explanation:

Even if you touch an item with a stick you re still doing work to it, most of the time something sitting on a table not being disturbed is having work done to it. Everything has the force of gravity working on it to essentially keep the items from floating away so workis being done to it.

Work done can be something so small (e.g) a pencil sitting on a table) or as big as an earthquake or kicking a ball through a window and smashing the glass.

A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity
liubo4ka [24]

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2}}

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 \frac{m }{s}

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 \frac{m }{s}

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the forward displacement is taken is positive, and the backward displacement is taken is negative.

first displacement = + 18 cm

second displacement = - 6 cm

third displacement = - 12 cm

net displacement = 18 - 12 - 6 = 0 cm
