How is work defined in physics

Physics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.

A student tosses a ball horizontally from a balcony to a friend 3.8 meters down below them. How long does the ball take to reach
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is approximately 0.88 seconds

Explanation:

The height from which the student tosses the ball to a friend, h = 3.8 meters above the friend

The direction in which the student tosses the ball = The horizontal direction

Given that the ball is tossed in the horizontal direction, and not the vertical direction, the initial vertical component of the velocity of the ball = 0

The equation of the vertical motion of the ball can therefore, be represented by the free fall equation as follows;

h = 1/2 × g × t²

Where;

g = The acceleration due gravity of the ball = 9.81 m/s²

t = The time of motion to cover height, h

Then height is already given as h = 3.8 m

Substituting gives;

3.8 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 3.8/(1/2 × 9.81) ≈ 0.775 s²

∴ t = √0.775 ≈ 0.88 seconds

The time it takes the ball to fall 3.8 meters to friend below is t ≈ 0.88 seconds.

A chemical reaction takes place in which energy is absorbed. Arrange the characteristics of the reaction in order from start to
Ira Lisetskai [31]
<h2>Answer</h2>

It will be single step endothermic reaction.

<h2>Expalantion</h2>

In the endothermic reaction, the reactants come together to convert to products by absorbing the heat from the external source. This reaction is explained is also known as one step reaction as reactants meet to get the transition stage and converts to the product. But in some reactions, the activation energy required to activate the reactants to get the transition stage to form products. For this, the reaction will have the steps as activation energy, reactant meet, transition stage and products form.
