What is the relationship between mechanical energy and work?
Work is the quantity of energy being transfered (i.e. potential to kinetic). It is due to work that energy is transfered between potential and kinetic and vice versa. This is an attribute of the first law of thermodynamics. Energy is also the ability to do work
What does work equal?
Work is defined as the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied to an object and it moves in the direction of the force. Mathematically, work is calculated as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
When can you say that work is done on an object?
when a force acts to move an object,we say that work was done on the object
When is work not done on an object?
Work is not done on an object when there is no displacement of the object in the direction of the force applied. In other words, if the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, no work is done. Additionally, if there is no force acting on an object, no work is being done on it.
Is work done if an object does not move?
No, work is defined as the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force. If the object does not move, then work is not done on the object.
Where do you say that work is done an object?
Work is done on an object when a force is applied to the object and the object moves in the direction of the force. The work done is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
Is work done when holding object still?
No, work is not done when holding an object still. Work is defined as force applied over a distance, so if the object is not moving, no work is being done.
How does doing work on an object change its energy?
When work is done on an object, energy is transferred to or from the object, changing its energy. If work is done on an object, its energy increases; if work is done by an object, its energy decreases. The change in energy of an object is equal to the work done on it.
If work done on an object is equal to object's change in kinetic energy this the state of?
If the work done on an object is equal to the object's change in kinetic energy, then the object is in a state of work-energy theorem. This theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
How can work be done?
Work done when force moves an object.
Can total work done on an object negative?
Yes, the total work done on an object can be negative. This occurs when the force applied to the object is in the opposite direction to the displacement of the object. In this case, the work done is considered negative.
If an object is being pushed but does not move is there any work being done on the object?
No, work is only done on an object when there is displacement in the direction of the force applied. If the object does not move, then no work is being done on it.
