What else can I help you with?
A boy is standing with some books in his hand is he doing workGive reason for answer?
No, work is a transfer of energy since the boy is just holding the book he is not doing work if he were to slide the book or throw the book for example he would be transferring energy in result "doing work".
What is the amount of work you are doing if you are holding a book in your hand straight out with your arm?
0 because you are not moving it work = force * distance work = wight of book * 0(no movement)
Does the action of holding a baseball do work?
no. it would have to be moving for it to be doing work
Is reading a book doing work?
no
Why don't you do work as you hold a book motionless over your head?
You are doing work. Your bodies muscles are constantly working to keep the book and yourself balanced. It may not seem like you are doing anything but if your body stopped work then you and the book would fall down.
Are you doing work if you are standing against the wall holding a bucket of water?
In the general sense, you aren't, but in a scientific sense, as you are holding the bucket, then you are engaged in work. So it depends on what perspective you are asking from.
Where can you find answers to fundamentals of algebra?
By doing the work in the book.
Is the book holding back the sea a documentary?
Documentary is a term reserved for video. Holding Back the Sea is a work of environmental non-fiction.
If you are standing still and holding a heavy iron doorstop in front of the class to demonstrate a wedge are you doing work?
No, you are not doing work in the physics sense while standing still and holding the heavy iron doorstop. Work is defined as the force applied to an object times the distance over which that force is applied. Since there is no movement involved while you are holding the doorstop stationary, no work is being done according to the scientific definition.
Is holding a heavy piece of wood at a construction site an example of work being done to it?
Yes, holding a heavy piece of wood at a construction site is an example of work being done on the wood. Work in physics is defined as the product of force and displacement, so by applying a force to the wood while holding it, you are doing work on it.
Is the statue of liberty doing work by holding her torch in the air?
Good lord I hope not, we haven't paid her in over a hundred years! :-)
How much power is required for you to hold a 1 kilogram book 1 m above the floor for 100 seconds?
To hold a 1-kilogram book 1 meter above the floor, you exert a force equal to the weight of the book, which is approximately 9.81 newtons (N). However, since you are not moving the book, the power required is zero because power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy. Holding the book stationary does not involve work being done in the physics sense, as there is no displacement. Therefore, the power required is 0 watts.
