Units of power in dimensional analysis?

Power is work/time. work is force times distance so Power=force*distance/time or (P=f*L/T).


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 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.


Is force and energy the same?

No. Energy has units of force x distance. For example, if you apply a force over a certain distance, a certain amount of work is done - or in other words, energy is transferred.


Are force momentum time acceleration and distance all conserved energy?

No. Force, for example, does not have the same unit as energy. Energy has the units of force x distance (the same units as work). Similarly, the other items you mention are not directly related to energy, either.


What is to done when a force moves the object through a distance?

Basically, the product of force x distance is called "work". It is expressed in units of energy. I like to think of work as "energy transfer", but this only applies to mechanical energy. In fact, it requires energy to do such work. In the SI, if you multiply a distance in meters by a force in newtons, you get a work in joules.


What the difference between Torque and Work?

They are completely unrelated. Don't get confused by the fact that the units look similar. Work units may be force (N) times distance (m); so a Nm is a work unit. Torque units may be distance (m) times force (N); so mN is a torque unit. Look similar, but they describe different things.


What is work and what are it's units?

it is force times the distance it moves through and its units are Newton meters in SI, called Joules, or inch pounds in US


What is the dimension for work?

In order to accomplish work, energy is required. Work has the units of energy.[ Force x Distance ][ Mass x Length2 / Time2 ]


Force moved through a distance?

Force moved through a distance is work. Work = Force x Distance


What is the unit for measuring work?

if the work is done in a straight path than Work = Force x Distance (otherwise w=FDcos(theta) ) The units of work is the joule.


A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?

Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.
