Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e   Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

     = 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).

A tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?
zaharov [31]
Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)

What is hooke's law? does it apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?
zysi [14]
When you talk about Hooke's law, it always have to do something with springs. Hooke's Law, from Robert Hooke, saw a relation between the force applied to the spring and the extension of its length. The equation is: F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the original and stretched lengths. In other words, x is the length of deformation. Hence, the object must be elastic to come up with a displacement or deformation, in the first place. Then, the Hooke's Law is only applicable to elastic materials.
