Mechanical energy is equal to force x distance. Actually, work is defined this way, but you can think of work as a transfer of mechanical energy.

Does mind have kinetic energy?

No, the mind does not possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is created by a force or motion.


What is the relationship between forces and energy?

Energy is the ability to do work. Force is something that changes motion.


What is a forcewhat are the various effects of force on an object?

Force is an influence tending to change the motion of a body or produce motion or stress in a stationary body. Effect of force: 1.Force change the motion of a body:- force change the motion of body that are already in motion and produce motion in a stationary body. Example a car moving on a road suddenly hit behind by a truck, you will notice the tendency of the car motion increase. the force applied by the truck affect the motion of the car. A stationary body hit behind by a moving body, the position of the stationary body changes. 2.Force change the direction of both stationary body and body in motion:- Newton's second law state that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and take place in the direction in which the force acts. 3.Frictional force:- is a force that oppose the motion of one body over the other. Effect of frictional force: a.It leads to wasting of energy, when two surrounding forces move over each other, heat is generated as a result of friction. the energy required to turn the machine, will be converted heat energy which reduces the energy output. b.It leads to wearing away of the surfaces in contact. 4.Gravitational force field:- Gravitational force field causes a body thrown up to fall back on the ground.


What is energy force and motion?

Energy W is the ability to do work, W = -vp + cP where v is motion (velocity/speed) and p=h/w= mv is momentum. Force is the first derivative of energy, Force F = XW =[d/dr, DEL] [-vh/w, cP] = [ vp/r -cDEL.P, cdP/dr -DEL vh/w + cDELxP] F = cp/r[v/c -cos(P), -1P + v/c 1R + sin(P) 1RxP] Force = cp/r = cp/ct = p/t = mv/t = ma Motion is the change in position per unit time and is related to Force and Energy.


How does a catapult demonstarte newton's second law of motion?

potential energy in the rubber is translated as a (diminishing) force on the mass, causing acceleration
