According to the definition of work

Reference no: EM13544677

According to the definition of work, the work done by an external force in moving a heavy crate along a horizontal surface should be the same whether the force is pulling upward at a 45 degree angle or pushing downward at a 45 degree angle. In practice it is easier to pull the crate than to push it at 45 degrees. Why is this so?

Solid uniform spherical boulder rolls down the hill : A solid uniform spherical boulder rolls down the hill as shown in the figure(Figure 1) , starting from rest when it is H = 43.0{\rm m} above the bottom. The upper half of the hill is free of ice, so the boulder rolls without slipping. But the lower h..

Two blocks are connected by a light cord : Two blocks are connected by a light cord. One block, of mass 4kg, sits on a horizontal table with static and kinetic coefficients of friction of 0.6 and 0.4, respectively, whereas the other block, of 2 kg mass, hangs over a frictionless light pull..

Calculate magnitude-direction of magnetic field in region : In Figure 20.12, a small particle of charge q = -7.0 x 10^-6 C and mass (m = 3.1x10^-12) has velocity (Vo = 9.4x10^3 m/s) as it enters a region of uniform magnetic field. The particle is observed to travel in the semicircular path shown, with radius ..
