Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Work in physics is defined as the product of force by the distance that the body travels in the direction of the force.

It can be represented by means of the following equation.

W=F*d

where:

W = work [J]

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

In the given example the work is zero since the tree does not move, therefore the bear exerts a force on the tree. But there is no talk of movement of the tree, therefore the work is zero.

How much work must be done in the car to slow it from 100km/h to 50km/h
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

-96.465m joule

Explanation:

Let m = mass of the car and v1 = initial velocity and v2 = final velocity

Given.

Initial velocity = 100 km/h

final velocity = 50 km/h

What is work done in the car to slow it from 100km/h to 50km/h?

v1=100km/h=27.78m/s

v2=50km/h=13.89m/s

The work done in the car to slow it from v1 to v2.

w=Δk

w=k2-k1

w= \frac{1}{2}m(v2)^{2}- \frac{1}{2}m(v1)^{2}

w=\frac{1}{2} m(v2-v1)^{2}

w=\frac{1}{2}\times m(13.89 -27.78)^{2}

w=\frac{1}{2}\times m(-13.89)^{2}

w=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (-192.93)

w=-96.465m joule.

Therefore, the work done is -96.465m joule

Darlene kicks a soccer ball off the ground and in the air with an initial velocity of 34 feet per second. Using the formula H(t)
Levart [38]
At maximum height, the velocity of the ball is 0.
v = u + at
0 = 34 - 32.2t
t = 1.06 seconds

In H(t), s = 0 because the ball is initially on the ground.

H(t) = -16(1.06)² + 34(1.06)
H(t) = 18.1 feet
