gravity
Work done by a force is zero when the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. Another scenario is when the force is applied but there is no displacement of the object.
The force-time graph of an accelerating object would typically show a non-zero, positive force applied over time. As the object accelerates, the force applied to it would increase proportionally until it reaches a constant force when the acceleration stops.
An object would have smaller acceleration if the net force acting on it is smaller. This could be due to a decrease in the magnitude of the force applied, an increase in the mass of the object, or the presence of opposing forces that balance out the applied force.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
Static friction keeps an object from moving when a force is applied. It is the force that must be overcome to initiate movement of an object. Sliding friction occurs once the object is in motion.
Say you are moving an object against the carpet flooring, you are the force and you are causing the object to move as well as you are creating friction between the carpet and the object. The force would be called the netforce, which is all the forces that are acting on an object.
The transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move in the direction of the force is called work. Work is calculated as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which the force is applied in the direction of motion.
The main force would be the force of gravity, which is 250 pounds in this case.
The force applied to the object can be calculated using Newton's second law, which states that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration. In this case, the force applied would be 40 N (5.0 kg * 8.0 m/s^2).
The physics definition of work is a force acting on an object to move it a distance. A book sitting on a desk has a grav. force applied, but, since it does not move, no work is done. A rock falling off a mountain would have work being done.
Maximal applied force is the maximum force that can be exerted on an object before deformation or failure occurs. It is a measure of the maximum strength or load-bearing capacity of a material or structure.
For an object in motion, a force applied in the direction of the movement of the object would propel it further along that direction. The force should be equal or more than the momentum of the object. If a force in applied against the moving object in a direction opposite to the movement of the object, the velocity of the moving object is hampered. How much this decrease in velocity would occur would depend on the amount of the opposing force. If a sufficiently large force in an opposing direction is applied, it can even stop the object. If the force is not along or opposite the movement of the object, the force can change the direction of the object. If the force that was causing the movement of the object is removed, the object slows down, until it finally stops. For an object at rest, a sufficient amount of force can set the object in motion.
