Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Mechanical Force</u>
According to the second Newton's law, the net force F exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:
F = m.a
Where a is the acceleration of the object.
Assume we apply some given force F to an object of m1=1 Kg that produces an acceleration , then:
F = m1.a1
The same force F is now applied to a second object m2=4 Kg that produces an acceleration a2, then:
F = m2.a2
Dividing both equations:
Solving for a2:
Substituting values:
Answer:
The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.
Explanation:
Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:
Where:
- Work, measured in joules.
- Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.
- Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.
During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:
In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:
Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.
