-True or false work is force applied over a distance?
Work = Force times displacement The work done on an object is equal to the Force (push/pull) on the object in Newtons times the distance (in meters) that the object moves. If you push or pull on an object and it does NOT move (zero displacement), then no work is done on the object.
Would way will an unbalanced force move?
The unbalanced force on an object will cause a change in direction towards the lesser force
What exactly is inertia?
Inertia is the resistance of motion of an object. The more inertia, the harder it is to move something. The less inertia, the easier it is to move. Take a bowling ball and a marble. The marble can be flicked by the finger, because it has less inertia. The bowling ball takes the entire hand because it has more inertia than the marble. According to Newton's laws, an object that is moving tends to continue in motion. A moving object has inertia as it has Mass and Velocity. An object that is not moving requires a Force exerted on the Mass to start it moving.
How does inertia work?
It is exactly the same as momentum and covered by Newton's first law of motion. Inertia is a way of expressing the force required to get an object to move from rest, or the force required to change the velocity or direction of an object in motion. Anything that has mass will have inertia - a "resistance to move or change velocity or direction of motion".
What can a force do?
a force is something that you apply to an object- it can move-change shape-change direction-slow it down-make it faster
When a force is exerted on an object causes the object to move then what is done on the object?
When a force is exerted on an object causing it to move, work is done on the object. Work is defined as force acting over a distance in the direction of the force.
What is the definition of work'?
Is done when a force exerted on an object causes that object to move some distance; equals to force times distance; measured in joules (j)
What is an example in which a force is exerted on an object without doing work on the object?
Pushing against a stationary wall is an example where a force is exerted on the wall, but no work is done on the wall since it does not move. Work is only done when a force causes an object to move over a distance in the direction of the force.
Is work done every time forces are exerted on an object?
No, work is only done if the force causes the object to move in the direction of the force. If the force is exerted but the object does not move, no work is done. Work is calculated as force multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
Is work the measure of amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance?
No, the amount of work done on an object is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance over which the force is applied. It is a measure of the energy transferred to or from an object when a force is exerted on it to move it a certain distance.
What 2 things need to occur for work to happen?
For work to happen, there needs to be a force applied to an object and the object must move in the direction of the force. Work is calculated as the product of force and distance moved in the direction of the force.
What happens when force exerted on an object causes the object to move?
The object is moved and energy is transferred.
What work is being done when pulling?
When you pull on an object, you are applying a force to move the object towards you or away from its current position. Work is being done when this force causes the object to move a certain distance in the direction of the force applied. Work is calculated as the amount of force applied multiplied by the distance over which the force is exerted.
What must be true when work is done?
When work is done, there must be a force acting on an object, and the object must move in the direction of the force. The amount of work done is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
When a force is exerted on an object work is done only if the objec?
moves in the direction of the force. If the object does not move in the direction of the force, then no work is done on the object.
What are the effects of force when exerted upon an object?
When a force is exerted on an object, it can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate, change direction, or deform depending on the magnitude and direction of the force. The object will experience a change in its state of motion as a result of the force applied to it.
What instrument measures how much work is being done to move an object?
A spring scale and a meter stick. Spring scale may be used to find force exerted. Meter stick finds distance through which force was exerted.
