Work is force times distance.

A Force divided by Distance: looking at the units,

Force = newtons = kg m / s^2 = mass x length / time^2 so ML/T^2

Distance = m = length so L

Force/Distance = (ML/T^2)/L = ML/LT^2 = M/T^2

So the units of a force divided by distance are mass/ time^2

This would be the rate of change of mass change with respect to time.

Define a centimeter and a millimeter?

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one hundredth of a meter, while a millimeter is equal to one thousandth of a meter. Both centimeters and millimeters are used to measure short distances or dimensions.


What is the SI unit it of pressure which is equal to 1 N exerted over 1 m2?

'Newton' is a unit of force, not pressure. They're different.The pressure on some area is the total force on the whole area divided by the area.The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal. 1 pascal of pressure means 1 newton of forcespread out over 1 square meter of area.


If equal force were applied to a basketball and a baseball which would travel further according to Newton's 2nd law of motion?

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, both the basketball and baseball would travel the same distance if equal force were applied to them. This is because the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it, assuming the masses of the two objects are the same.


Does acceleration divided by mass equal force?

No... According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, a force (in newtons) is equal to the mass (in kilograms) times the acceleration(meters per second squared). It can be rewritten as a = F/m and m = F/a as well.


Why is the term energy is closely linked with the idea of force and motion?

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.

What does work divided by force equal?

Work divided by force equals distance. This equation is based on the formula for work, which is work = force x distance. By rearranging the formula, you get distance = work/force.


What is Power is equal to force times distance divided by?

Power is equal to force times distance divided by time. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as ( P = \frac{F \cdot d}{t} ), where ( P ) represents power, ( F ) is the applied force, ( d ) is the distance over which the force is applied, and ( t ) is the time taken for that distance. Essentially, power quantifies the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.


If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?

I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.


Is velocity equal to force divided by distance?

No. Velocity = distance divided by time. Example: a body covers 100 metres distance in 10 seconds velocity = 100 / 10 = 10 m/s


Is Speed is equal to distance divided by time?

Average speed is equal to the total distance travelled divided by total time.

How does the position of the fulcrum and the location of the load affect the amount of effort force you must exert to lift the load?

To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
