What is meant by Work in physics?
The displacement of a body which occurs when force is applied on it is called work.
What is the definition of the word 'work' in physics?
The word 'work' in physics is defined as the transfer of energy from one material body to another. It is a body's displacement in space caused by an external force resulting in motion. If a force is applied but there is no displacement or motion, then no work is done. Also work is not done if a force is applied perpendicular to the body's displacement. Work is expressed in units such as joules or foot-pounds.
What is a good subject for an investigatory project in physics about displacement and distance?
I suggest "displacement and distance".
In the term of physics is work said to be done when we walk?
If you start walking on the flat ground, then the displacement is caused at right angles to the direction of your movement. In a way, the displacement does not take place in the direction of force applied by your shoulder. Hence, no work is done.
What type of science is water displacement?
think its physics
How do you describe work in physics?
Work is the transfer of energy from one physical body or system to another. It is summarized in the equation W (work in ergs or joules)=f (force)*d (displacement of the body). =============================== It can also be defined as the displacement by a body due to a certain amount of force acting on it.
Define work in physics?
Work is said to be done by a force if the point of application of the force gets displaced. Work is measured by the product of the force and the displacement component in the direction of the force. Hence W = F s cos @ @ is the angle between the force vector and displacement vector.
What is the definition of net displacement for physics?
Net displacement is the distance of a straight line from the beginning point to the end point.
Work is the product of and an object's displacement?
It is a product of force and displacement: Work = force x displacement
What is the work done when the direction of displacement and the direction of force acting on the body are perpendicular to each other?
according to physics it will be zero work W=F.S (dot product of force and displacement) from vector algebra W= F*S*cos ( angle between force and displacement) W = F * S * COS (90) BUT cos(90)= 0 so W=0
What is the time it takes to travel a distance called?
displacement in time (physics SUVAT equations)
What is the use of dot product in Physics and explain?
Dot Products in Physics denote scalar results fmo vector products, e.g Work = F.D = FDCos(FD) a scalar result from the dot product of two vectors, F Force and D Displacement.
