What is the unit for work is called
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The unit you should use for work done and energy is the joule (J) which is indeed the same as the newton metre (N m).

There is another physical quantity which is the product of force and distance and that is torque or moment of a force.

The unit you should use for torque is the newton metre (Nm) and not the joule.

Naming the units of work done and torque differently helps to emphasis the fact that work done and torque refer to two different physical quantities although the definitions of both quantities have the product of force and distance in them.

work done=force→⋅displacement→ and torque→=force→×displacement→

Hope I helped

A batter hits a pop fly, and the baseball (with a mass of 148 g) reaches an altitude of 265 ft. If we assume that the ball was 3
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

Potential Energy (U) is the energy of a body located at a certain height (h) above the ground and is calculated as follows:

U = m × g × h

U: Potential Energy in Joules (J)

m: mass in kg

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

h: height in m

Equivalences

1 kg = 1000 g

1 ft = 0.3048 m

1 N = 1 (kg×m)/s²

1 J = N × m

Known data

h_2 = 265ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 80.77m

h_1 = 3ft * \frac{0.3048m}{ft} = 0.914m

m = 148g*\frac{1kg}{1000g} = 0.148kg

g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

Problem development

ΔU: Potential energy change

ΔU = U₂ - U₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓgₓh₂ - mₓgₓh₁

U₂ - U₁ = mₓg(h₂ - h₁)

U_2 - U_1 = 0.148kg * 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}*(80.77m - 0.914m) = 115.82 N * m = 115.82J

The increase in potential energy of the ball is 115.82 J

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

68.5 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 3.74 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0) (3.74) + ½ (9.8) (3.74)²

Δy = 68.5

The egg fell 68.5 meters.
