Answer:

Work, in physics, measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force

Explanation:

at least part of which is applied in the direction of the displacement. ... To express this concept mathematically, the work W is equal to the force f times the distance d, or W = fd.

Answer:

The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we'll need:

The horizontal speed
the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground

At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get

$v_{x}=v*cos(27)=9.88 m/s *cos(27)=8.80 m/s \\v_{y}=v*sen(27)=9.88 m/s *sen(27)=4.49 m/s$

Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates

$x(t)=8.8 m/s *t$
