By applying less force. The more force you apply the less distance there is, but the less force you apply the more distance there is.

This is why on a ramp it takes less force to push something up a ramp than to lift it, but at the same time it takes a longer distance to move the object in question. On the other hand, simply lifting the object will require more force but less distance.

Is there any difference in the work done as you change the force or the distance traveled?

Work is basically the product of force and distance traveled, so if any of the two (force, distance) change, the work will change as well.


How does work change as force change on distance?

Work is directly proportional to both force and distance. As force increases, the work done will also increase. Likewise, if the distance over which the force is applied increases, the work done will also increase proportionally.


How do you calcalute work?

Work can be calculated from force times distance, or the change in energy.


Can work be equal to a negative number?

Yes. Work = F * change in distance; and change in distance can be negative (i.e. moving from far to close, d2 - d1 where d2 < d1)


How does distance change when the amount of effort force is increased while the amount of work done remains the same?

Work is the product of (force) x (distance).If, as you allege, the force increased but the work didn't change, thenthe distance must have decreased, by exactly the same factor as theincrease in the force, so that their product is not changed.


If force increases and distance remains same what happens to the amount of work done?

If force increases and distance remains the same, the amount of work done would increase. This is because work done is directly proportional to the force applied. The formula for work is Work = Force x Distance, so as force increases, work done would also increase.


When a force moves an object over a distance?

Work is being done on the object. Work is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. The work done causes a change in the object's energy.


If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?

I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.


What is done when an object moves a distance because of a force?

When an object moves a distance due to a force acting on it, work is done on the object. Work is the transfer of energy to or from an object resulting in a change in its motion. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.


How velocity of an object can affect the work done by the object when moving up and inclined?

work = force * distance and force = mass * acceleration and acceleration = change in velosity/change in time so work = mass * acceleration * distance , as a result work = mass * change in velosity/change in time * distance, hence the velocity of the object affected by : 1.mass of the object. 2. gravitational acceleration which reduces the speed of the object when go up and increases the speed of the object when it come down.. 3. look at the rules etc........thx..............with best regards


How do you create a concept map with the terms work force distance machine and mechanical advantage?

To create a concept map with the terms "work," "force," "distance," "machine," and "mechanical advantage," you can start by connecting "force" and "distance" to represent the concept of work. Then, you can link "machine" to show how it can change the amount of force needed to do work. Finally, you can connect "mechanical advantage" to demonstrate how machines can increase force or distance to make work easier.


What does force divided by distance equal?

Work is force times distance. A Force divided by Distance: looking at the units, Force = newtons = kg m / s^2 = mass x length / time^2 so ML/T^2 Distance = m = length so L Force/Distance = (ML/T^2)/L = ML/LT^2 = M/T^2 So the units of a force divided by distance are mass/ time^2 This would be the rate of change of mass change with respect to time.
