Work done can be describe as?​

Physics
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. In its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force.

Quick Facts: Common symbols, SI unit ...

Work

A baseball pitcher does positive work on the ball by applying a force to it over the distance it moves while in his grip.

Common symbols

W

SI unit

joule (J)

Other units

Foot-pound, Erg

In SI base units

1 kg⋅m2⋅s−2

Derivations from

other quantities

W = F ⋅ s

W = τ θ

For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). When the force F is constant and the angle between the force and the displacement s is θ, then the work done is given by:

{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}

Work is a scalar quantity, so it has only magnitude and no direction. Work transfers energy from one place to another, or one form to another. The SI unit of work is the joule (J), the same unit as for energy.

How much work is required to move
Nikitich [7]
The work is path independent since we have a conservative force.

Thus W=d\cdot\frac{q\cdot U}{d^2}=\frac{3.0\cdot9.0}{0.010}=\boxed{2700 J}

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.
