energy work force

From times immemorial, man has used machines to help him in his work. Today, we are dependent on machine for almost every task. When we think of machines we always tend to think of big and complicated units with many moving parts like wheels and rollers and gears and shafts. In Phys..

When a force acts on an object and the object moves in the direction of force, we say that the force has done work on the objec..

In many cases when we pull or push an object, we find that force and displacement are not in the same direction. Let a constant force F acting on a body produce a displacement S as shown in the figure. Let q be the angle between the directions of the force and displace..

Work Energy Theorem - According to this principle, work done by a force in displacing a body, gives the measure of the change in kinetic energy of the body. When a force does some work on a body, the kinetic energy of t..

Summary - The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object The point of application of force must move in the direction of force W = F x S SI unit of work is joule Energy is the capacity t..

Summary - The essential conditions to be satisfied for work to be done are: Some force must act on the object. The point of application of force must move in the direction of force. W = F x s SI unit of work is joule. Energy is the capacit..

Energy is a number that we associate with a system of one or more objects. If a force acts on one of the objects, making it move, then the number changes. After countless experiments, scientists and engineers realised that if the scheme by which we assign these energy..

Let us consider a situation where the force is acting along the X-axis and the magnitude of the force is varying with position 'x'. Thus, as the ball moves, the magnitude of the work done by the force, on the ball, changes. The adjacent graph shows the plot ..
