What does slug mean in aviation?

The slug is the unit of mass in the US common system of units, where the pound is the unit of force. The pound is therefore the unit of weight since weight is defined as the force of gravity on an object. While the pound force and pound weight are the widely used units for commerce in the United States, their use is strongly discouraged in scientific work. The standard units for most of scientific work are the SI units.


How much work is done when 45 n force moves a block 20 m?

If the force is in the same direction as the movement, you simply multiply the force times the distance. Since you are using standard SI units, the answer will be in joules.


How much work is done when a force of 12 n moves an object a distance of 5 meters?

In this case, the work is simply the product of both. Since you are using standard SI units, the answer is in joules.


What are the alternative units used to measure values of energy?

The official (international) unit for energy is the joule. Other units frequently used include the calorie, the electron-volt. In general, by the definition of work (which is basically energy) as force x distance, any product of units of force and distance can also be used, for example the foot-pound.


Is SI a unit for work?

SI stands for International System and is just the standard of units which are to be used when measuring. For example, the standard unit for mass is Kg and for length is m.


Why aren't standard English measurement used in science?

Because they are non-rational, obsolete, it is a problem to obtain a physical standard for UK units, they are stupid, they are not understanded in other countries, they are sources of confusion and it is difficult to work with these units etc.


If you exert a force of 10 to lift a box of .9m how much work has been done?

The answer would depend on the units used for the force. Since these are not specified, it is not possible to answer the question.


When an object weighing 1N falls a distance of 1M How much work is done on the apple by the force of gravity?

Work = (force on the apple) x (distance through which the force acts).Force on the apple = its weight = 1 nDistance through which the force acts = 1 mWork done by gravity = (1 newton) x (1 meter) = 1 newton-meter = 1 joule


Work is done when a force is used to?

Work is done when force is used to be approximately constant


What label is used for work in physics?

I've always just used W for work and I'm pretty sure that's the accepted standard. The units are J (joules) but sometimes it's easier to think of as kg m^2 s^-2 (seems more complex, but if you're doing force calculations, that can help you check your units). J = kg m^2 s^-2 J = (kg m s^-2)*m W = F*d so W = work to keep it simple? and Work is force times distance (W = F*d). Thank you so much.


What is the unit used to measure work?

Joules. Work = Force (N) x Distance (m) N x m = Joules


What equation is used to calculate work?

Work = Force * work=Force x Distance
