work power and 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..

A contractor wishes to lift a load of bricks from the sidewalk to the top of a building by means of a winch. Since we know the expression for work, we can calculate work to be done by the force applied by the winch to lift the load. We are interested in the rate at whi..

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..

Procedure Observation Inference Take a table tennis ball and make 3 slits into it The force of the steam rotates the blades, and it acts like a simple turbine. Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Fix semicircular fins of a metal sheet into thes..

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 ..

Power - Imagine two students positioned at track A and track B of 100 m length shifting 10 bricks from one end of the track to the other end. What is the amount of work done by each one of them? The amount of work done is same but the time taken to perform the wor..
