What is the formula of inclined planes?
work=force times distance
How gravity and centrifugal force work together?
Sorry. They can't, because gravity is real and centrifugal force isn't.
When is work said to be done against the force of gravity?
All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.
The force that makes a boat float?
The force that is at work is gravity. If you are thinking of bouyancy, it is not a force.
The natural force at work on your vehicle on hills are?
gravity
When a book falls from a shelf to the ground without anyone pushing it Is work is being done on the book?
Work is being done by the force of gravity. When the book falls to the floor, there's a force on it, and the force keeps acting on it as it covers the distance. A force acting through a distance is the definition of work. Maybe there's nobody pushing the book, but the force of gravity is pulling it down, and it's the force of gravity that does the work on the book.
What is the formula for work done against gravity?
Work Done = Force x Distance = Power / Time = (Force x speed)/Time
What forces or things that affect orbits?
Gravity is the only real force at work here, The mass affects the gravity, but the gravity is the only one that could be termed a "force".
What are adjectives for inclined planes?
slanted,easier work, simple machine,and force
Why does the force of gravity do no work on a bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley?
Work is definied in Physics as the Force acting on an object times the distance the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd Since Force is mass times acceleration (F=ma), and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, there is no gravitational acceleration (a), hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.
How does a bungee jump work long answer?
Gravity and elastic force...
Does a balance scale work by using force or gravity?
it works by reacting to the force created by the mass of your body being in a gravitational field. in short it works by using a force. but that force is because of gravity.
