Which one is the dependent variable in distance, force, or work
1 answer:
Answer:
Distance
Explanation:
Work can be defined as the energy transferred to a physical object by exertion of a force on the object to cause a displacement of the object. Thus, work is typically done when a person or simple machine move an object over a distance through the application of a force.
Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;
Where,
W is the work done
F represents the force acting on a body.
d represents the distance covered by the body.
A dependent variable is the event expected to change when an independent variable is manipulated.
Hence, distance is the dependent variable because its value changes with respect to the amount of force exerted on an object.

The mirror formula for curved mirrors is:
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
is the distance of the object from the mirror
is the distance of the image from the mirror
The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
-
: positive if the mirror is concave, negative if the mirror is convex
-: positive if the image is real (located on the same side of the object), negative if it is virtual (located on the opposite side of the mirror)
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
